"Frontera" movie quotes tell the story of a former sheriff who seeks out to find out who killed his wife. The western drama was written and directed by Michael Berry in his feature film writing and directing debut. "Fontera" opened in theaters in the United States on September 5, 2014.
In "Frontera," Miguel Ramirez (Michael Peña) leaves his pregnant wife Paulina (Eva Longoria) in Mexico while he travels on foot to the United States in search of a better life for their family. Just over the border in Arizona, Miguel, along with a man he's traveling with, meets Livy (Amy Madigan), who was out of a horseback ride on her ranch. Moments later, someone fires a rifle which spooks her horse, sending her crashing to the rocks below, killing her.
When Livy's husband, former sheriff Roy (Ed Harris), hears the shots, he immediately heads to the area and begins an unofficial investigation into the killing. But when current Sheriff Randall Hunt (Aden Young) arrests Miguel for the crime, Roy isn't so sure they've nabbed the right guy and his following investigation leads him to surprising conclusions.
"Frontera" brings some serious subject matter to theaters already packed with lighter titles such as "The Identical," "The November Man," "The Congress," "Life of Crime," "Starred Up," "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," "If I Stay," "When the Game Stands Tall," "Are You Here," "The Expendables 3," "Let's Be Cops," "Life After Beth," "Frank," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "The Hundred-Foot Journey "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Get On Up," "Hercules," "Lucy," "Magic in the Moonlight."

Roy: "Yeah"
Sheriff Randall Hunt: "As soon as we told him what happened, he started talking really fast."
Roy: "You told him?"

Roy: "That's a bunch of bulls***."
Sheriff Randall Hunt: "I know, I'm just telling you what the man said, keeping you in the loop like I promised."
Roy: "Should have shot that son of a bitch when I had the chance."
Sheriff Randall Hunt: "I saw that you had a firearm on you when we got there. Were you shooting at them, Roy?"
Roy: "No"
Sheriff Randall Hunt: "Are you sure?"

Sheriff Randall Hunt: "Why the hell didn't you tell me that before? That's pretty damn important."

Tell Me That He's Without Blame
Sheriff Randall Hunt: "You can't walk in here and tell me that he's without blame."
