It was kill ... or be killed ... all the way down to The River's Edge.

ThrillerDramaCrimeAdventure

A murderous thief on the run with stolen loot forces a poor rancher to guide him across the desert into Mexico. Accompanying them is the rancher's wife, who happens to be the killer's former girlfriend.

VIBE

A sun-baked, morally ambiguous chase across a desolate landscape. This film feels like a slow-burn powder keg, where simmering resentments and desperate choices ignite under the unforgiving desert sky. It's a tense, gritty journey into the heart of human frailty.
