Borrego, an awkward thriller pasted onto a moody strangers-forging-a-connection drama, doesn't allow itself to be what it so clearly wants to be.

Rated: 2/4

humanizes an issue that is all too often discussed in shallow talking points and shrill hyperbole

A poorly acted, uninteresting, and wholly forgettable survivalist thriller.

Common Sense Media

It doesn't always work, especially when cutting away from its two main characters, but this sun-baked, anti-drug desert-survival thriller is solid enough at its center to make it worth a look.

Rated: 3/5

Much better than expected! This movie has everything, Drama, suspense and Action. Set forth on an idea with a very realistic circumstance that could very well actually happen and possibly did, of course there were a few scenarios I found unbelievable which was the last chase scene which clearly couldn't have been that close to each other from where the chase started then at the Police station were apparently had no cell coverage or phone? Lastly the police officer probably is the worst shot in any movie I have seen where police are shooting at bad guys then apparently he falls into a canyon and survived without breaking an ankle or leg? Aside from that I won't waste my time scouring a dictionary trying to find obscure and very descriptive words to make my review read more professional, instead I'll just say watch it and don't judge a book by its cover or in this case the experts negative reviews. I found the movie very entertaining and kept my attention throughout, it delved into the main two characters of the film who started at opposite spectrums (Good vs The Bad) then built an understanding between the two characters who both were dealing with their own emotional issues and struggles which brought them together at a crossroads in their lives and literally on a road in the middle of a desert.

Enjoyed most of it, but the ending was ridiculous. Did the character die? No one will ever know, or probably care

Low budget, very simple and common script, but engaging (beats the hell outta some of the boringly shallow and repetitive super hero fare).

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
