I hated this film, but probably for the wrong reasons..

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2015)

OK, first off, the directing and acting was good, no award worthy performances but still good. Special effects were also very good.
But ultimately i feel cheated, the trailers for this movie hinted at a fictional action flick; Highly trained people fight for their lives during a border crossing.. Benicio Del Toro taking a lead for a change to pull an inexperienced agent through the fire alive.. A nice escape from reality into a pretend America that may have never existed except in a plethora of action flix (and we all wanted to live there anyway lol)...
What i got could have been a documentary on how some U.S. agencies are run, without oversight or limitations, basically criminal organisations funded by the taxpayer; as they grapple for control of a criminal underworld. Though there are purely fictional parts, Benicio has a mission impossible moment near the end, but these moments seem inserted into the movie to break up the tedious grind of what most people recognise as reality, sad and depressing as that may be.
