Jenna Ortega’s New Film Shines in Mexico and Beyond
The newest crime drama from Taylor Sheridan is making waves on global streaming platforms, especially in Latin America. The film follows a small‑time drug dealer portrayed by Jenna Ortega and has surged into the top ten of Paramount+’s worldwide movie chart as of late April 2026.
Global Chart Performance
| Region | Rank |
|---|---|
| Mexico | 8 (shared with 14 other countries) |
| Colombia | 10 |
| Uruguay | 10 |
Mexico tops the list, reflecting Ortega’s strong cultural ties. The film also secures tenth place in Colombia and Uruguay, indicating a broader regional appeal.
Critical Reception
- Rotten Tomatoes: 27 %
Critics cite a disjointed storyline and an uneven tone. - Praise: Supporting actors such as Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones received commendation.
- Criticism: Narrative often described as dull and over‑the‑top.
Ortega’s performance is highlighted as a bright spot, though the film remains one of her less well‑received works—only outperformed by a 2025 release that scored lower on the same review site.
Production Insights
The production team underscored Ortega’s rising star power as pivotal in securing the role. A co‑producer noted that her upcoming projects—a horror franchise, a Wednesday series, and an action film—are expected to boost the movie’s visibility. This strategic timing helped the film find its audience on streaming services after a limited theatrical run in 2023.
