Set against the beauty of the Sonoran desert, the film depicts two men who hatch a plan that they think will both help immigrants and make them rich. The film touches on the complexity of immigration but balances it out with the timeless story of men seeking happiness and satisfaction.

Twists and turns in the story were fun and left me guessing until the end. The cinematography was very beautiful and uniquely captured the stark desert landscape, giving the film a look that was much more polished than most indie films I've seen. The acting was very naturalistic, a nice counterbalance to the stereotypical portrayals in many mainstream films. This a great film--highly recommended for a movie night at home!

What a well-written and thought-out story. Coyote is an independent film that doesn't look low budget. It deals with a real and timely subject (human smuggling) without being preachy. If you're looking for a film with a political statement, this isn't it. This is a story with a soul. It's funny, sincere, and tense and frenetic as the story builds.

An amazing story about two friends: Stevie who is in his early thirties and "retired" due to successful sale of his business venture and his buddy J., son of Mexican immigrants who works mundane job refilling vending machines. One day, their long time friend who is not American citizen but was raised in America is deported to Mexico. Bored and willing to help out their buddy, two friends find a way to smuggle him back to US (Arizona). Before long, they have a busines plan on creating a new way of trafficking Mexicans to US - at a profit.

It turns out to be an easy and successful venture, that pays well and pays in cash. Both men feel they are doing a public service by providing a more humane way of transporting people in the US. Until one day they realize tht Mexican warlord is unhappy about loosing his business to Gringos. And that is when the real trouble starts...

Great story, not so good actors and wonderful entertainment.

A genuinely good film. For the ultra-low budget, the look is commendable. These guys prove that you don't need a huge budget and stars to make a really good movie. You need a well written script and a great story! A couple of "gasp!" moments with some clever twists make this film one of the better indie films I've seen in awhile. As a fellow filmmaker, I'm tracking these guys down to find out how they pulled it off.

Coyote is a movie about 2 guys who start out with a good-hearted reason to help immigrants cross the border but then become greedy. Surprise ending!

This movie is unique and will have you at the edge of your seat. I have shared my copy with several friends and they all loved it. Brett Spackman is awesome and we look forward to many more movies from him in the future.

I was so surprised by this film. What a great story! I think it's a must see; a shame it didn't make it to the theater. This will keep you guessing, laughing, crying and on the edge of your seat!
