Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Torro lead this star studded cast in this thriller. Not a bad trio. Loosely based on real life? I mean this isn’t an actual true story BUT it is not far off probably with a behind the scenes look at the life?
This is a movie about the drug trade at the USA and MEXICO border. Emily Blunts character gets roped into some very high level USA military operation to eliminate a head a cartel that is causing issues on the border. Brolin is lead on the mission, Blunt is in over her head but they need her there, they are using her to accomplish their mission. I will leave out the details as not to spoil but it is really interesting and thought provoking.
BDT (what a nickname) is phenomenal per usual. Maybe better than usual. He is a major part of the mission to take out this cartel boss on the Mexico side of the border, but he is not American. He has a vested interest though. And is very knowledgable.
This is Denis Villanuave at this standard greatness. Every tense scene (a lot) has the perfect dramatic music. Every angle of the camera for big scenes captures it perfectly. This is absolutely an EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM.
