Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com 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 Jan 14, 2022 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk humanizes an issue that is all too often discussed in shallow talking points and shrill hyperbole Rated: 3/4 Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A poorly acted, uninteresting, and wholly forgettable survivalist thriller. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Its story is awkwardly told. Rated: C+ Feb 14, 2022 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Gripping crime drama Borrego with Lucy Hale has a fine cast. Rated: B+ Jan 24, 2022 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson 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 Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Eric Great performances, bad guy characters who are actually human. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/22 Full Review Ace H 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Jan N Enjoyed most of it, but the ending was ridiculous. Did the character die? No one will ever know, or probably care Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review jwcdood 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 10/07/23 Full Review jat7215 This movie has all the elements of a good movie. I think the script needed a final polish. The acting, direction and choreography were good; and characters believable in their motivations. The last 30 minutes were very gripping. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/11/22 Full Review Audience Member Good movie.. Should be higher than the 23 rating it got Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
