Great film

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2015)

I saw this without knowing what it was going to be about, rather than a drug cartel movie. Im glad I went in blind, I was pleasantly surprised at the pacing and characters. The plot isn't too original, but the true joy of this film is probably the hypotheticals involved concerning the war on drugs. What do we expect out of our justice system? What are we willing to allow in order to stop the drug culture? Or at least impede it? The characters involved are great, the point of view for the audience is basically that of the FBI agent who doesn't really understand the real face of the conflict. The audience is slowly let in on just what elements of the US government are doing and why, with the the main character having the same reservations and asking the same questions we, as the audience, want to ask. A great film.
