Jenna Ortega’s New Film Shines in Mexico and Beyond

The latest crime drama produced by Taylor Sheridan is gaining traction on global streaming platforms, especially in Latin America. The movie, which follows a small‑time drug dealer played by Jenna Ortega, has climbed to the top ten of Paramount+’s worldwide movie chart as of late April 2026. Mexico leads the list, where the film ranks eighth—a spot it shares with fourteen other countries—showing a strong connection to Ortega’s heritage. The film also secures tenth place in Colombia and Uruguay, indicating a broader regional appeal. Despite the positive reception in these markets, critics have been less enthusiastic overall. The film earned a 27 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers citing a disjointed storyline and uneven tone. Some praised supporting actors such as Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones, yet the narrative was often described as dull and over‑the‑top.Ortega herself received praise for her performance, with many reviewers noting it as one of the film’s bright spots. However, the project remains one of her less well‑received works, only outperformed by a 2025 release that scored lower on the same review site. The production team highlighted Ortega’s rising star power as a key factor in securing the role. A co‑producer noted that her upcoming projects—such as a horror franchise, a Wednesday series, and an action film—were 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.
