Desierto, a film which we saw and reviewed nearly twelve months ago, has just bagged itself a new trailer ahead of its release Stateside in just a couple of weeks.
Jonás Cuarón, son of Alfonso, directs this fast-paced action-thriller that stars Gael García Bernal and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The film, Jonás Cuarón’s second feature following the 2007 indie Year Of The Nail (Año uña), revolves around a group of Mexican immigrants who have just illegally crossed the Mexico/ United States border. As they step onto US soil, they stumble into the path of Sam (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a loner who is taking it upon himself to patrol the area and enforce his own version of border control. Picking off eight members of the travelling Mexican pack with his high-powered rifle in a matter of minutes, killing them instantly, Sam and his blood-thirsty dog Tracker then go after the remainder of the group, across the brutal, hostile environment of the desert.
The last trailer we saw just before Christmas last year and the film finally arrives in front of U.S. audiences on 14th October, 2016. It is still awaiting a UK release date.
The film features a great turn by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and has some great ideas from a well-paced, tight screenplay. Desierto is a great chase flick that certainly delivers the goods. You can read our full review of the film here and check out the new trailer below.
