calm down spergo
So I just finished this, what did Holla Forums think?
Hudson Lopez
Gabriel James
It's good. Really good. Del Toro made it for me, and I think it was probably his best performance to date. Tight cinematography, script, and performances all around. The ending completely caught me off guard. I'd say it's as morally grey as Apocalypse Now, and I love that. Solid film.
Colton Ortiz
Del Toro really carried this.
Xavier Edwards
shit
Del Toro plot was hackneyed, predictable revenge shit about "muh fambly". How many times have I seen family revenge plots? Lame
Emil Blunt's acting was total shit in the film, overcompensating emotionally every time she turned around, going Antifa at the CIA revelation.
the "America taught us" shit is incredibly retarded excuse for the cartels but is treated like the truth.
obligatory token nigger was a cringy token nigger
Oliver Cruz
Just like le ISIS boogeyman right?
Cooper Richardson
Also where did they say that? I recall the Mexican cartel leader saying something similar, but it was towards Del Toro's character, who's Colombian. The film implies that the CIA is involved with the drug trade, which they are, and that the solution isn't completely in black and white.
Eli Morris
That speech was at the last part during the dinner scene.
Del Toro's character is Mexican (he mentions he's a prosecutor in Mexico prior to the film), but the film implies aligned with the Medellin Cartel in Colombia (he mentions he was in Cartagena recently and the Sonora cartel guys called him "Medellin"). Also, his Spanish was pretty Mexican-accented.
Evan Baker
My mistake on the character's origins, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Columbian cartels. As they were the ones most directly involved in pioneering the drug trade and modern day cartels. Plus Del Toro's character is still working for them.
Christopher Parker
You have to go back, Carlos.
