Storyline

Blind Target is the story of a young woman who emigrated from the poor tiny Latin American country of San Hermoso only to strike it rich and famous as an author in the United States. When she returns to her homeland to promote her novel "Desperate Letters" - a thinly veiled expose of her native land's political corruption - she is in for a welcome that she could not have imagined in her worst nightmares.

User Reviews

A blind guy could have gotten closer to the target

Successful writer Maria Baltran (Rachel Sheppard)goes back to the South American city she fled from as a kid on a publicity tour to promote her book that's about how corrupt her homeland is. For some reason some people want to kill her. hmmm, I can't imagine why, she writes of how utterly corrupt the country is and then GOES BACK THERE ON A BOOK TOUR!! Dumb poota. So after her best lesbian friend gets kidnapped (not before sharing a tender moment with Maria, of course), she has to go save her. The post-recorded dialog was immensely distracting and annoying, and the plot is hopelessly convoluted. One of the worst Franco films that I've seen.

My Grade: F

DVD Extras: Behind the scenes (10 minutes); deleted shots with commentary by producer Kevin Collins; Spanish language clip; and stills gallery
