It's not the best but it is far from the worst. The FF genre rarely delivers a fully fleshed-out scenario or compelling special effects and so the skill (or lack) is whether the journey itself is watchable and whether there are enough twists or fresh ideas to sustain interest over the run time. On the negative side, a *lot* of belief suspension is required, the Mexican desert doesn't seem like the optimal place for a single American female to journey through. even more so with substantial equipment, supplies and no transport for the most part. The beautiful desert scenes mostly carry the film while the remote assistant's domestic footage seems largely out of place.
On the plus side, the lead actress did a good job, there were successfully-crafted moments of tension and a few flourishes which took my rating over halfway.
