The Divide is directed by, and starring Golden Globe nominated actor Perry King ("Riptide", "The Day After Tomorrow"), the film is a uniquely American modern western that has been playing to packed audiences at festivals in Houston and Arizona, and just received a stunning review from legendary Houston film critic Joe Leydon, who said "In his debut effort as a feature film director, King gives an extraordinary performance... Working in concert with screenwriter Jana Brown, he has fashioned an uncommonly compelling and emotionally rich drama ...the chance to do what his admirers have always known he was capable of doing: Be drop-dead brilliant without working up a sweat.”
