Your Guide to ‘Borrego’ Streaming on Netflix – Reviews, Cast, Synopsis, Trailer, True Story, and More

Borrego is one of the numerous Netflix originals that are now popular. The
recently released movie appears to have piqued the interest of viewers due to
its enthralling tale, which takes you on an exciting adventure that you won’t
want to end. Viewers also like the different messages conveyed in this
film. You’ll be left feeling somewhat conflicted about what you thought you
understood.

The film is teaching us that your worst adversary can one day become your
greatest ally. Let us find out more about the film and if it is a worthy watch
for this weekend.


WHAT IS BORREGO ON NETFLIX ABOUT?

Elly is a botanist in the Southwest who is researching invasive plant
species. She observes an aircraft accident on her way home and investigates. At
the collision site, she meets Tomas, a drug smuggler on the run from the cops.
In the face of death, Elly promises to assist Tomas in reaching his destiny.



Unfortunately, Guillermo, the intended recipient of the drug package, believes
he has been fooled. A pursuit through the desert ensues, with Elly and Tomas
afraid for their life.


THE AMAZING CAST OF THE FILM

The movie also packs a great cast, making the movie’s watching experience even
better. Starring in the film is Lucy Hale playing Elly. Lucy is most known for
starring in the hit Pretty Little Liars series. Joining her is Nicholas
Gonzalez, playing Jose. You all must remember Nicholas as the charming Dr. Neil
Melendez on The Good Doctor.

Olivia Trujillo as Alex, Jorge A. Jimenez playing Guillermo, Leynar Gomez
playing Tomas, Jaime Aymerich playing Juan Manuel, and Brendan McNamee as Trent
are also in the film in crucial roles. Jesse Harris writes and directs the film.


IS BORREGO A TRUE STORY?

‘Borrego’ isn’t based on a genuine story. Jesse Harris came up with the initial
premise for the film. It is just the amazing acting and the real on-site
shooting of the movie that creates such an authentic atmosphere that one cannot
believe it wouldn’t have real-life roots.


WHAT ARE THE REVIEWS FOR THE FILM?

Borrego is Jesse Harris’ only second feature film, so in no way is it a perfect
film. It lacks the finesse of showing three separate storylines as a whole, and
the pace, too, feels relatively slow at times.

However, the film redeems itself with lots of beautiful shots and especially
through the acting of Hale. She carries the whole film with her acting making it
at least a fun one-time watch. The currently has a 23%Tomatometer rating on
Rotten Tomatoes [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/borrego] and a 5.4% star
rating on IMDb. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12676006/]

As the movie is only an hour and 45 minutes long, we feel it is a decent watch
that will give you the much-needed thrill on a lazy weekend afternoon.
