Laine (Jocelin Donahue) thought the middle of the desert would be the perfect place to disappear. Broke, bruised, and on the run, she finds shelter at The Frontier, a forgotten roadside motel at the edge of nowhere. But when she takes a job from its guarded owner and meets the strange mix of guests drifting through, Laine begins to suspect she’s stumbled into the middle of a dangerous scheme. A bag of stolen money is about to change hands, and if she plays it wrong, she might not live to disappear again.

"I was very pleased when I saw VS reissued this gem (which happens to feature some of my favourite artwork of the year). Jocelin Donahue is such an underrated actress, so I'm glad to see this film getting some appreciation. Highly recommended."
"First things first, this is worth it for the Tony Stella artwork alone. RIP King. As for the movie itself, mileage may vary. If you love American noirs I do not see how you would not love this. The cast is fantastic and the story moves along at a good pace. I was not in love with it myself but am glad I watched and own it all the same. Lots of good bonus content too!"
"Jocelin Donahue delivers big time in this superb thriller, what a wonderful actress she is. Movie looks and sounds great, and comes in great packaging."
"A Neon noir western. . really a must watch. . loved it"
"This film fucking rocks. Brooding and claustrophobic noir at its finest. It’s a wonderfully sprawling collection of genre cinema all tied off into one blissfully lush colorful package. You can feel the touch points of influence but it’s not exactly only specific homage. The Frontier is entirely its own vehicle and it’s extremely confident at that. It’s also oddly comforting to watch? Happy to say the Dekanalog release is stunning. The first viewing I had was when it was first released on whatever streaming service, and sitting here now I'm blown away with how beautiful it all looks and sounds. Also, happy to have a means of watching Oren Shai’s short film Condemned. Watch it goddamnit!"
"The Frontier is a grimy Neo-noir Western about a drifter caught up in a dangerous world of crime, deception and shady characters. Bleak, atmospheric and sleazy, with a real late-night B-movie feel."
"This was a blind buy I didn’t know anything about this movie but it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise good movie very good transfer nice artwork and slipcover very happy"
"A little bit more style than substance but I enjoyed it still."
"I thought this was surprisingly good. The plot is solid but the acting is what steals the show. Incredibly believable performance by the main actress"
"Modern noir thriller that does the subgenre good. Any film that gives Jim Beaver a good part needs to be successful."
