    Your thoughts echo some of my own feelings on film today. Have you seen FROZEN RIVER, starring HOMICIDE's (TV) Melissa Leo? I thought it was an excellent crime film. It's about two women living on the edge of financial ruin, who take to trafficing illegal immigrants over the US/Canadian border.
