One dimensional characters in a movie that tries to cover up that it's just one of the poorest revenge flicks.

score 2/10

It gets one star for the beginning of this movie when it shocks you with people death and walled in to a house. The ending of that scene reduces a lot of the shock by not taking in the account of checking everything properly in such a big operation as this seems to be. This happens multiple times in the movie and I was really missing the technological advancement these sort of agency's usually have.

First half doesn't seem to matter cause in the middle everything gets switched and it turns into a revenge flick that also doesn't seem to make much sense. Especially the final scene is laughable because Del Toro's entry into this big mansion is so easy it is hard to explain that such an important cartel boss who could expect something like this is so unprotected. I would at least expect something along the lines like they did it in "scarface" with Al Pacino and that was way back in the 80's.

Emily Blunt,Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin all played roles way beneath their top roles in other movies and a lot of characters and the overall story were written poorly and only some set pieces stand out and therefor it gets another star.

I'm amazed I saw hints for a sequel and I don't even wanna think what that would be like knowing how stupid this one was and I will definitely pass on that one.

This is just to much of a mess to be called realistic or even entertaining and for me I am done with this and hope everyone involved will go on and do something better.

Will not go so far to not recommend this but I'll never watch it again.

If you get something good out of it,I'm happy for you.

But for me personally.....neh!
