The overall ideas and the way they present the scenes were intense and received quite the reaction it perhaps intended. First few minutes with scary death bodies inside the walls were very promising. However, most of the plots are poorly written, is it real that a big cartel was only guarded by few people? But the other (men) lead characters played their part okay, they lifted the poorly written story a little bit.
Most critics go to Emily Blunt's character. Up until now, I still don't get why was she even there. I don't get the "tension" or whatever it is she's supposed to be showing, maybe conflicts? To me, it is unrealistic for a field agent who's been "kicking doors since day one" really follow the rules by the book with no adaption at all. And the supposedly "smart" agent doesn't get how bad a cartel can be is beyond me - I'm no police but I get how bad "cartel" can get, and I only used imagination. I just don't get it, I feel only annoyed with the character, she is really unnecessary.
Overall, I only get this "annoyed by Emily Blunt" feeling after watching the movie, not much anything else. I'm giving some marks for the other actors and for the "tense".
