Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot a single scene has been shot indoors.
- GoofsRifle used, appears to be a sporterized M-1 Garand, with scope mounted too far forward to be useful. Gun is continually cocked after each shot, but this rifle is semi-auto, and reloads itself after ejecting the empty cartridge. It holds eight rounds, but shoots at least a dozen times in a row, and is never reloaded throughout the entire film.

Featured review
JDM fans will want to watch this to prepare for TWD!
This was a surprisingly good movie! Unlike other reviewers, I did not see the "politics" in the movie at all. The fact that the gunman was killing illegals was just part of the story line. The same guy could have been killing sorority girls and not Hispanics, and the plot would have been: serial killer attacks sorority girls. It is basically the same plot and story line of any "slasher movie"--only in this one, JDM uses .300 WinMag and not a butcher knife.
I thought the movie was well acted by Jeffery Dean Morgan and Gael Garcia as the protagonists. The dialogue was insipid at times, but the overall tension created by Morgan's character and more so, by Tracker, his dog, was excellent.
If you want to get ready for Negan in The Walking Dead (also played by Jeffery Dean) then I recommend you watch Desirio as a warm-up.
