C H INTENSE, INTENSE, INTENSE. One of the most under the radar movies of the decade for me. Everyone played a star role and a movie was made that showed how ruthless the drug wars are. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Ian S One of Dennis Villeneuve's best movies. A bleak story about how governments are losing the battle against the drug cartels and corruption. The sound design and cinematography are top notch and Benicio del Toro steals every scene he is in.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Daniel H I don't normally write reviews, but this movie has compelled me to do so. It has a pretty good Popcorn rating here, but I just don't see why. This movie was absolutely ruined by the main character played by Emily Blunt. She was a good enough actress, but the character itself was so annoying that the movie is simply awful. The character basically whines, cries, and acts morally superior to everyone throughout the movie. At various points in the movie, other characters explain to her that the operation she is involved in is not going to be "by the book" and if she is not ok with that she should leave. Yet she insists on sticking around and whining about how things are not being done according to her idea of what is right. I would be ok with that if she somehow learned from her experiences and grew as a character somehow, but basically at the end of the movie, she is in the exact same place as where she started. What is the point? Another really annoying thing about the character is that she makes the exact wrong decision at every point where she has an opportunity to do so. I like movies with clever characters who are smart. She is not smart or clever. For example, she discovers that a guy she is making out with might be involved in money laundering. Aside from the questionable decision to bring a guy she just met back to her house without even knowing him even a little bit, she could have just said "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom," and then gotten out to safety. Instead, she gets all freaked out and the dude figures out she is on to him right away. What an idiot move. She also does not seem to be very well cast. We are supposed to believe that she is a great field agent, but she loses every single fight she is in throughout the entire movie as if she has never had any training, and she is built like a twig with barely enough muscles to walk, much less fight a bad guy. Is there no beefier woman in all of Hollywood? If she had not been the central character in the movie, this might not have been a problem, but as it is, it is just always in your face the entire time, and I just found myself asking "Why?" a lot. "Why did she do that?" "Why doesn't she just leave?" etc. Do yourself a favor and watch some other action movie tonight.
