This is a strange film that sees refugees landing on the Italian coast. Some want them gone, others want them to be looked after. It starts off looking cheap and amateurish, and it never really shakes that feeling. The acting is patchy at best. One of the main asylum seekers, in particular, is remarkably unconvincing. The Italian cop in the lead role is solid, but most of the supporting cast falls flat like the anti-migrant American's whose dialogue often sounds forced. Anna, the character desperately trying to help one of the asylum seekers, is written with intent but doesn’t land. She is played as being sort of mental and it's never explained. Despite what the bandwagon might claim, Uwe Boll can and has made good movies, but this isn’t one of them. 1.5-2/5.
