A group of Mexican emigrants attempts to cross the Mexican-US border. What begins as a hopeful journey becomes a harrowing, bloody and primal fight for survival when a deranged, rifle-toting vigilante and his loyal Belgian Malinois dog chase the group of unarmed men and women through the treacherous borderland. In the harsh, unforgiving desert terrain, the odds are stacked firmly against them as they discover there's nowhere to hide from the unrelenting, merciless killer.
Desierto Griity, at the edge. human and inhumane nature of the species called homo sapiens. Given the refugee scenario all across the world this movie has a lot of significance.
Instead of a maniac killing the illegal immigrants creeping across the border its the political and government that's murdering the journey of the refugees.
The environment is harsh and yes they are ironically called the bad lands. True that but humanity is not bad right? We are not born with prejudice. That is instilled in us with our surroundings.
Can we not as a race merge the borders and stop the racism, sexism and all other isms and just enjoy how the earth meant us to?
On the movie, the acting and the bare knuckle direction gripped till the end. It rattled just like the snakes and made sure we were alert at all steps.
