Steve D 09/19/2024 Entertaining because of the great cast. See more paul d @PaulusLoZebra 11/06/2021 Despite three great actors - Fred MacMurray, Claire Trevor and Raymond Burr - a clever premise, and nice locations in Mexico, Borderline was a weak film. The biggest problem is that it doesn't know if it wants to be a suspense thriller (most of the film), a comedy (odd scenes seemingly thrown in) or a romance (came on strong at the end, as was expected). I blame the director and screenwriter for this mess. It could have been a much better movie. See more 10/22/2017 The cast (Fred MacMurray, Claire Trevor, and Raymond Burr) and thumbnail story description of two undercover agents infiltrating a drug ring in Mexico had me excited about this film noir, but it ended up being a rather bland nourish adventure film. It's along the lines of "Out of the Past" or "The Big Steal" but nowhere as good. MacMurray and Trevor are both trying to bust Burr's drug smuggling ring, but neither knows that the other is an undercover agent. The cast makes the film watchable, but the story had more possibilities than what ended up on screen. A decent cast and set-up are squandered. Disappointing, but watchable. See more 01/23/2016 As old movies go, this one is worth seeing once. As a window into how the narcotics trade was viewed in the years after WWII, this is invaluable. See more 01/18/2015 "Borderline" is a 1950 film that's just that - borderline good, borderline noir, borderline funny, borderline - well, just borderline. Though it stars Fred MacMurray, Claire Trevor and Raymond Burr, you'll come away with the impression (possibly true) that once the big stars came home from the war, MacMurray's services were no longer needed and that Trevor, like so many wonderful Hollywood actresses, had passed 30 and was now diving for roles--An amusing romantic chase movie, with drugs, death and Raymond Burr thrown in... Guns, Cars, a Dame and a Plane!! See more 10/16/2013 A detective story with wasted potential as its interesting, but ordinary. See more Read all reviews
