‘Borders will be crossed’

The Red Desert Productions-RokitPig co-production stars Michael L. Nulty, Marila Lombrozo, Aubrey Trujillo, Juliana Philippi, Valentin Mexico, Mariah Padilla, Pablo Correa and Carlos Enrique Almirante.
Reviews:
“There isn’t a lot of time to take in the tragedy that’s unfolded for the film’s duration except a brisk montage of corpses at the end. More to the point, it’s understandable how some folks will feel about a white lead at the forefront of a largely Latinx casting framework, and so to each their own. Beyond that, the performances alone are worth praising the film’s watchability, and the fair entertainment Perez provides in his direction.” Film Combat Syndicate
“Coyote Cage is an interesting beast, albeit one that does take a few minutes to readjust to as the third act switches gears. The script is populated with well-rounded characters that a talented cast brings to life. Yes, the third act is jarring, but that is part of the point, and its brutal nature will not be soon forgotten.” 8 out of 10, Film Threat
