About
If you want an intense, high-stakes cartel thriller with plenty of action and a dramatic edge, Savages could hit—Not for you if you dislike harsh, violent drug-world stories or if you’re expecting something tighter than The Counselor or Sicario.
Pros: action-packed thrills; strong supporting cast; tense cartel conflict | Cons: uneven script; annoying narration; mixed character chemistry
