DESIERTO is the intense new feature film from Jonás Cuarón. This story of a man killing off a group of people crossing the border to the US is a swift and thrilling ride. Featuring fantastic performances from Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Gael García Bernal, there is a real sense of tension going on during what can’t help but be bit of a politically charged thriller. And yes, it gets bloody. It’s a game of cat and mouse with a little hint of slasher. And it’s pretty damn good.
Recently we had the chance to speak to the incredible Jeffrey Dean Morgan about playing this particular character. He discussed playing bad dudes and he also talked a little Walking Dead. This guy is the real deal. Things got a little more serious when we spoke to Bernal and Cuarón. The two opened up about why they wanted to bring this to the big screen. It was a fascinating conversation about a really terrific movie.
DESIERTO opens up today in limited release.
