This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a load of crap this was. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and the three dogs playing Tracker made ok performaces. Everything else, the story, cutting and rest of the cast.. Not so much. If you find this in sale for 1-2$/€ then maybe and if you can watch dog to suffer.… Expand

I don't know how people can give this movie high ratings - only good thing here might be Morgan's acting, but other than that the story of the movie is so simple and in the movie it feels prolonged and acted out without any intensity orI don't know how people can give this movie high ratings - only good thing here might be Morgan's acting, but other than that the story of the movie is so simple and in the movie it feels prolonged and acted out without any intensity or thrill. Basically Mexicans want to cross the border through desert, but there is a guy who tries to kill them. He succeeds to kill almost all of them, but 2 characters survive. Ok, the story might have been nice and interesting, but there are no thrills when you are watching, not twists, no nothing. Just that simple and quite boring. Also the movie, while it touches important topics from nowadays, doesn't really have any message or anything that it wants to tell the audience… Expand

I rarely give anything a zero but this movie just left me bored and mad. Apparently your a villain if your a border patrol agent nowadays, and the hero of this is the illegal immigrant criminally entering the country. I hope Donald TrumpI rarely give anything a zero but this movie just left me bored and mad.

I found this to be an extremely simplistic yet very solid survival action/horror/thriller very satisfying. It does have an extreme message, but overall as a film it's very well done.

It does have an extreme message, but overall as a film it's very well done. The dog is the real star imo jumping/climbing/running all over the place as the ultimate threat to the immigrants. The desert setting and scenery makes for wonderful cinematography and it was well shot. While many americans might find this as a slap in the face, as a stand alone film it succeeds.… Expand

One of the most predictable and basic films I have ever seen. The performances are limited due to the poorly written dialogue. And there's very little in terms of suspense and the plot is so predictable that I called the entire thing withinOne of the most predictable and basic films I have ever seen. The performances are limited due to the poorly written dialogue. And there's very little in terms of suspense and the plot is so predictable that I called the entire thing within the first 10 minutes of viewing. The predictability ruins the whole thing imo and turns what could have been a solid movie into nothing more than a bargain bin pick up at best.… Expand

It's one redeeming quality is the cinematography, which is phenomenal, but it doesn't offer too much else.… Expand

There's much to like in the great Alfonso Cuaron's son's debut flick - the big-skied, parched desert sprawl of a setting, and an adreniline-fueled intensity reminiscent of his father's Gravity, but its masochistic tone and moral glibnessThere's much to like in the great Alfonso Cuaron's son's debut flick - the big-skied, parched desert sprawl of a setting, and an adreniline-fueled intensity reminiscent of his father's Gravity, but its masochistic tone and moral glibness strand it in the desert. A well-composed cat and mouse thriller it is, a social allegory it is not.… Expand
