David H @DavidQHarris May 2 Well worth a watch. I like that it clocked in at less than two hours. And I like that it doesn't glamorize the guys who run the cartels, those guys who claim to venerate loyalty but who turn on each other at the drop of a hat. I don't like the violence, but I think it's important to portray just how unbelievably cruel these people can be. It's hard to comprehend how a person can get pleasure out of tormenting someone else, particularly someone who is innocent of any betrayal, i.e. family members of presumed traitors.

Based very loosely on real life narcos. The moral of the story is it doesn't end well for the bad guys. Their glory is short lived.. Not a blockbuster but the story will keep you glued on what happens next. See more Michael E @Eli2325 May 24 We really wern't watching but honestly didn’t need to. This movie is probably the worst movie I’ve ever seen. It was billed as having Danny Trejo in it, but he was barely in it. I feel like they pulled the rug out from under us with that one. No one in the movie was American so the title was also misleading as well. I can’t believe they made this movie. 1 out of 5 stars would not recommend this movie.
