Suspense thriller from Jonás Cuarón, co-writer of Gravity. Gael García Bernal stars as one of a group of would-be immigrants whose dream of entering the US becomes a nightmare when a deranged vigilante begins stalking them through the Sonoran Desert.
"A group of Mexicans attempts to cross the Mexican-American border. They expect to struggle against the elements and the increasingly pervasive surveillance of US authorities. They don't expect a Confederate flag-waving vigilante with a shotgun. In Jonás Cuarón's second feature as director, the hazards of illegal migration merge with the thrill of the hunt... A thriller in which — as in Gravity — survival is the only goal, and there is virtually nowhere to hide." (Toronto International Film Festival)
