Bring my darling boy to me

Elena, an AA regular, devises a wild scheme to abduct her estranged son, Tom, from his legal guardian, the boy's wealthy grandfather. While the plan is in progress, Elena's friend and accomplice Julia kidnaps Tom from his bodyguard to extort some money. The boy escapes, but Julia miraculously retrieves him from the salt flats of Southern California (or Arizona?). Mistaking a routine border patrol sweep for an LAPD manhunt, they accidentally cross into Baja California where the kid is promptly snatched by the Mexican mob. Sounds ludicrous? Totally. "Julia" is not a movie you will like for the plausibility of its plot. Its sole appeal is Tilda Swinton's amazing portrayal of a drunk, rising above the phlegm of intoxication to meet the challenges brought about by a near-nonsensical script. Although I liked the film, I think it's about an hour too long. The Tijuana episode is simply beyond belief.
