About Boulder

What I really like is when the Venn diagram aligns, when solid genre entertainment on one side and slice-of-life drama on the other meet in the middle. What I really like is interesting crime films like The Scrapper.

A very decent action thriller about the past coming back to haunt you. And embracing it.

Hoy Sale Cine

Taking aside all the heist and crime elements, The Scrapper dares to tackle some sensitive issues such as illegal aliens, cartels and human trafficking. A brutal story about the dark side of the American dream.

Rated: 8/10

Movie Nation

A movie that tells us instead of showing us, that checks off waypoints on its played-out crime story journey

Rated: 1.5/4

The bad guys in this movie make the list as the most laughable characters in a movie in some time. Poor production, disastrous casting, and a slow moving storyline makes this one overrated fiasco.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Fresh to see other than Mexican, South American or even Chinese immigrate drama; seems like everyone struggling to survive in the Big Apple Dreams. Plot nothing new here, same old same old...
