About
You might like this if you enjoy bleak, slow-burn cartel thrillers with a brooding mood, somewhere between The Enforcer and We Die Young; Not for you if you want clear plotting or nonstop action.
Pros: moody Tijuana atmosphere; gritty crime drama; strong cast presence | Cons: sometimes confusing story; hard-to-hear dialogue; less action than expected
