So here we have a citizen defending his border from illegal aliens made out to be the bad guy. The whole movie is backwards. Also anyone that fires a flare directly into a dog's mouth causing it to burn to death deserves to die a brutal death in the next scene. Very angry about this movie.

Another human hunting film. It is Sam (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) vs. illegals. If the desert and snakes don't kill you, Sam and his dog will. Sam calls in the crossing, but nothing is done so he takes matters into his own hands. Sam drinks a cloudy form of Jack Daniels, most likely ice tea. Like all human hunting films, the hunted takes it back to the hunter...yawn. Formula and shallow film. Of course it takes a real man to hunt unarmed people with a high powered rifle from 1,000 + yards. Made me pity the immigrants instead of creating a meaningful discussion of the issue.Guide: No sex or nudity.

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.

People trying to reach the United States are shot dead by Sam (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) a pure racist and he is helped by his dog Tracker. Why would anyone make a movie like this? Why would anyone want to star in a movie like this? It is basically someone shooting fish in a barrel, but the fish are human beings looking for a better life. Say what you like about illegals coming to the United States, but this story is way over the top. Yes, there is a cat and mouse aspect to all this, but this doesn't make it right. Yes, why would anyone even watch a movie like this? I only watched to be sure that Sam got his in the end as we had the feeling that Moises (Gael Garcia Bernal) would find a way to end Sam.Don't talk to me about production values, the acting, the cinematography, this is just wrong and it should not have been made. (1/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes and in sub-titles too.
