THE LAND OF WOLVES

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) works for Phoenix homicide as a field officer. After entering a house run by the Sonoro drug cartel, her world changes. She is selected to work with a federal task force to go after Manuel Diaz, the drug lord over US operations. The task force is lead by Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) an unorthodox individual with large government pockets. They do things their own way which she describes as "illegal" and is apprehensive of being part of a force , but is reassured "the boundaries been moved. "
Kate is working with a part of the government that doesn't play. I felt the intensity as if this was an Iraqi war film. Kate had a well developed character. There was a good bit of action... "those aren't fireworks." This was a different kind of film on the drug war. Good film for those who like war movies.
