Just about enjoyable. <em>'The Shepherd: Border Patrol'</em> is a solid enough, mindless action film. Jean-Claude Van Damme (Jack) certainly carries things, but Natalie J. Robb (Capt. García) is fairly good in her role. All the antagonists are very much cliché and predictable, though. The film attempts a load of heartfelt and profound storylines which don't really connect at all, with any twists it produces hardly surprising one bit. However, if you take this for want it is - a 95 minute brawl - then you can find ways to get entertainment from it. If you like this genre, you'll probably rate this 2008 production from Isaac Florentine.
