Too many fans seem to be blown away

Good idea lost in the noise

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This film kills time. The desert did not feel hot. I thought the acting sufficient and the girl was above the rest. We don't care too much about the characters but it is precisely a good point to make us in the skin of witnesses. A witness does not usually know who the bandits or the victims are. Without caring personally, we get to care, especially for the bad guy to get down of course. How to get away form a guy with a gun and an attack dog is the riddle. The pursuit turns comedic toward the end. The film is not too serious. The gun is not quite real and I think it is purposefully done so that people with guns don't think the killer to be smart.

Actually I thought this was going to devolve into a procedural drama with those that witnessed the original shooting going to court and a whole 'trial movie'.As I kept watching however, it turned into a very real horror movie. Just like the innocents are chased in Texas Chain saw, only this is very original and shot in the daylight in the desert.I would not want to be in the desert in those conditions. Was surprised that Moises leaves Adela behind, saying 'he has a son'. Great cinematography and direction. Different scenes in desert great > rocks, desert, cactus beds, and a hunt and chase scene that is thrilling and a little reminiscent of Duel. Very good well thought out and put together film.The shooter Sam is an extreme typical stereotype by the left, all the Minute Men in the south report such illegal immigration to authorities they don't shoot them.Commenters were right about the M! Garand and Sam is a little improbable making long shots without a tripod and several migrants moving in different directions. For having no military training he is too good a shooter and is a fantasy.However, avoid the voice over sound track by the director, just more political diatribe about migrants who are really illegal immigrants. How about a film about illegals who commit crimes in US, like drunk driving, fake Soc Sec cards and shootings.

To the pantheon of movies about immigrants we can add Jonás Cuarón's "Desierto". It focuses on a group of migrant workers who cross from Mexico to the United States only to become the targets of a racist vigilante. I suspect that this happens a lot. These vigilantes must have no life if they spend their days shooting people. The important thing to remember is that people coming from Latin America are fleeing horrible conditions (Gregory Nava's movie "El Norte" dealt with this). The movie depicts the trip across the desert as one harrowing experience.It's one of those movies that everyone should see. We might hear stories of people trying to cross the US-Mexico border, but people who don't attempt it have no idea what it's like. And believe me, Trump's proposed wall - increasingly looking unlikely - would have no effect; people would find a way around it.Definitely see this movie.

Desierto is a good entertaining movie with a story that makes you think about how some people are just evil to the bone. Jeffrey Dean Morgan does an excellent job playing the racist border controller with his loyal but lethal dog. He's the kind of guy you hope something really bad will happen to him during the entire movie. He plays the redneck racist American that can not stand immigrants while he's himself a descendant of immigrants. There are a lot of those people right now so this movie could teach them a lesson even though I think they are too stupid to understand. The movie is beautifully shot. If you are a nature lover you could just watch the movie just for the nature shots. For the rest the story is what it is, illegal immigrants being chased by a racist killer. But it's captivating to watch.
