Foreign Land review by Little starfish
Interesting viewing, if not a little strained
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
Foreign Land is one of those films that could have been amazing, but falters (in my opinion) on the on-screen chemistry between characters and the development of Paco. Although parts were well acted, some of his actions in the film feel unrealistic for this character. Similarly, important relationships don't appear as genuine as they should. Still, 4 stars for watchability. If were not being picky, it was enjoyable viewing.
