Completely Plot-less

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2017)

That movie was a thorough disappointment. One could think than in 2 hours you just HAVE to have some plot to put all the visuals together. But not here. Director uses dialogue only when absolutely needed, so plot is almost non-existent. We get stunning visuals and interesting locations, but it's like watching bizarre video-clip.
For the whole movie I questioned motivations of main characters. (major spoilers ahead) Even first scene raised my eyebrows, when our agents find dozens of bodies hidden behind the dry-walls in a safe house. Let that stink sink for a moment... Dozens of decaying bodies in apparently occupied safe house. Why? Does the great boss like to torture his soldiers with stink? Does he fell awkward digging holes so he went with vertical storage instead? Or maybe it's just poor plot-vehicle to show our agent is angry enough and ready to go after big bad guy? DING DING DING So Kate joins the group and guess what they do next? They exfiltrate local gang boss... from a Mexico. Because Freedom goes wherever it wants to go. Not only that but they kill some gang members right on a crowded highway just before border. Just a normal day at work I guess. Kate (our main character) doesn't like it, but hey - they are big boys and she wants to be a big boy too. Why do they choose to torture local boss on American soil and prepare risky convoy ride instead of going by helicopter? Because (redacted), that's why. I don't want to go further, but every part of the movie is filled with stupid, inconsistent decisions that do not make any sense at all. If National Geographic went to document lives of narco bosses - it would be just like this movie. Chaotic, brutal and completely plot-less. The movie ends where it started - NOWHERE.
