Shame. This could be something.

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2015)

I've read a few tag lines for this movie here and there, it's always the 'disgruntled FBI agent thrown into the deep end of the drug war' or some nonsense like that. The truth is, there's no way to sum up this story in just a few lines because there's simply no story. Or rather, it's not a story but an illustrated federal case, a task force theater, if you will. It's fun at times but make no mistake: there's no sex, no love, no romance, no mystery - nothing much to overcome or achieve for that matter. There's very little action (granted, when they finally do commence the ass kicking, it's truly glorious). There's a bit of a thrill, sure, but it's mostly about trying to wait out boredom until Blunt or DelToro do something. Commit. Alas, they never do, instead they act the unactable and vigorously play the dullest, the silliest and the least believable plights, like the highway shootout or the rendition of a single POI via a convoy of Suburbans through the Mexican border (what happened to using a helo?!).
