Great movie until the end

Rating: 7/10 (23 September 2015)

We start the movie with Kate (Emily Blunt) on a hostage raid. Things take a turn and nothing goes as planned. Getting frustrated at how things are escalating due to the drug trade, she decides to take an opportunity with Matt (Josh Brolin) to try to bring down the kingpin of the cartel responsible. When things don't go as cleanly as she thought they would bringing a prisoner back from Mexico, she starts questioning Matt and Alejandro's (Benicio Del Toro) motives.
As we learn more about the operations underway and get more attached to Kate's character, they switch the ending to focus more on Alejandro. I was fine with how things went, but it felt like a very abrupt ending to what Kate was trying to accomplish and just took the rug out from under her, without much closure. The last scene you saw her come to terms with what happened, but it felt like there was something missing.
Visually, the movie was amazing and I was drawn in right from the beginning about the attention to detail they gave in every shot. All the actors brought their A game, and you never felt bored watching any of them. The music built the suspense when needed and set the mood elsewhere. I just wish the end of the story gave a little more resolution to Kate's character.
