LOS ANGELES TIMES REVIEW: LAST RAMPAGE

Screen Shot 2017-07-26 at 3.43.29 PM.png — "The cinematography by Rafael Leyva is beautiful and shows the southwestern United States as a rather desolate place, using it as a layer to the story and the desperation of the characters as time goes by. His work enhances the film from something that could easily have looked like a made for TV film into something that should be seen on the big screen."
