A group of Mexicans tread through the Badlands to make it to the U.S. Unfortunately, Sam (Morgan) and his dog are out hunting. In order to prevent the Mexicans from immigrating to the U.S., Sam takes it upon himself to kill them off one by one. Moises (Bernal) and others witness the killing and try to save themselves and make it back to Mexico or to the U.S. if possible. But eventually instead of them being the ones hunted, they become the ones hunting.
This film was beautifully done. The camera work of the Badlands contained beautiful shots that showed the beauty and danger of the location.
There were some sound issues, but I'm not sure if it was the film or the movie theater I was in, so just beware of this.
The plot was interesting, because as an audience, we were able to see two sides to immigration: the Mexican trying to make it and the American who was deeply set against it. In the end I think there is a moral and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Leave it in the comments below or message me on social media what you think it was.
