Average.

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2015)

I saw this film in a big cinema complex for over ten bucks. I sat through a 'pre show' that seemed to go on forever and seemed to be aimed squarely at younger teens with Blackberries. I found that depressing especially since the film was aimed at adults not at younger teens. After what seemed like an eternity and after a handful of not that interesting looking new movie previews the feature finally came on. When it was over I thought it was a very average film. I am a fan of Emily Blunt & one or two others in this film but I thought that despite its impressive casting it was basically nothing special. There have been quite a few films made about the drug war that exists along the Mexico/USA border and this one doesn't really say anything new. People get killed and them some more people get killed et cetera et cetera. You would think that by this time they would be creating more sophisticated plot lines. Apparently not. This film offers no hope for a brighter future for any of the characters it depicts in the movie and offers no solutions to any of the problems it includes in its plot line. Frustrating cinema disguised as nouveau intelligence stuff. This film has about three action sequences in the whole thing which last a total of about three minutes-also not the best action orientated film ever made. Not a dog but in the ballpark.
