Review of Desierto

Desierto (2015)
2/10
Pointless story
5 September 2020
Morgan plays a right-wing desert rat disgusted with the Mexicans illegally crossing to the US. After a discouraging encounter with the Border Patrol, which has taken no action on his sighting of illegal crossings, he decides to take matters into his own hands when he spots a large group of immigrants, with the help of his vicious dog and high-powered rifle. What follows is a relentless, xenophobic fantasy of violence, gore and terror, with a very predictable ending. It's decently acted, but it has quite a few scenes that require too much suspension of disbelief, added just because they are in the script, apparently. There's just no point to this movie.
