Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

masonfisk Desierto tells the tale of a pack of immigrants besieged by a frustrated patriot who is picking them off one by one as they attempt to cross the border. Part social commentary & part thriller, Desierto isn't completely successful on both counts. The villain is thinly drawn to the point if he had a mustache, he'd twirl it & the entering Mexicans are saintly & well meaning also suffer from the same lack of characterization so we're left w/a sense of a story told but not very well.

SnoopyStyle Moises (Gael García Bernal) is crossing the American-Mexican border with a group of other illegals. Their truck breaks down and they're walking across the desert. Moises helps those who have fallen behind. The leading group is massacred by lone gunman Sam (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Moises and the remaining survivors are pursued by Sam and his dog.It's a simple man hunting man movie. It's basic B-movie. The premise gets on the political radar and both sides find fault in this. One should ignore trying to make a policy statement from a pulpy B-movie. That's all this is and it can't support more than that. More than anything, I would change some of the events. Moises seems to be the helpful type at first. When the dog first attacked, he should go back to help. Somebody should pick up a rock at least. He seems to be smart and calm. He should be able understand that with a dog, the gunman will track them down one by one without a doubt. Later, there is a moment when Moises abandons Adela. It may be logical but it's ill-fitting emotionally. Those are the only two scenes with which I have a problem. Otherwise, this is simple B-movie and Gael is a great actor.

Michael Ledo 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.

mariellealien The movie isn't bad - but it isn't great either. I wish the characters had more flesh and backgrounds to be honest. Racist white man shoots people trying to cross the border. Why does he do it? That would be interesting to know. Why is he so hateful? And what are the people who are trying to cross hoping for, what are their dreams - what do they leave behind? I felt little sympathy for them, other than the obvious - because they were so one-dimensional - and the murderer isn't really any better - which leaves for a movie you only watch to the end because your favourite actor is in it.
