A slightly underrated film

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2017)

This is not an 8/10 film, but it's not 7/10 either. I'd give it 7.6 and rounding up to the nearest whole number.
Great casting and acting. The acting could've been a little better, but I think the point was to make this film more light-hearted and less of a deep drama. I'm conflicted about that choice.
The film has a good amount of a relationship drama, the friendship between the two entrepreneurs, a cross-border smuggling action scene, enough jokes to cut the tension, which made this film more mainstream and easier to watch for most people.
Perhaps a gritty, dark film about weapons and war would've been too intense for many and would've polarized people into loving or hating this film, rather than having most people liking it.
My wine-like "goes with" recommendation: I recommend the show The Night Manager to go with this film.
