Grenzpatrouille: Directed by Tony Richardson. With Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Valerie Perrine, Warren Oates. A corrupt border Agent decides to clean up his act when an impoverished woman’s baby is put up for sale on the black market.

“Good, low-key, absorbing drama. One thing about Jack Nicholson, he seems to instinctively know when to effectively play a subdued character. His reading and performance of this character were perfect in this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enHe plays an increasingly unhappy, and troubled Border patrolman seemingly powerless to do anything about the brutality and corruption he sees around him. Saddled with a shrill, materialistic wife, Nicholson portrays the desperation of a man trying to make a difference, and do the right thing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot an award-winner, but an effective, interesting character study.”
