But what a stupid ending, IMHO! I'm not one who can't enjoy a movie when the bad guys win at the expense of the good guys, but man, wouldn't it have been better to have a final scene with Santiago lounging by a huge pool as the new head of the cartel?! Now that I'm over that, though, MAN what a gripping film this is! Highly recommended.

I watch 15 or so movies and 2 or 3 tv series per week, across all genre lines.

This is one of the most deeply engrossing films I have seen in all my 59 years. It is so entrancing and exacting it might as well call itself a top action blockbuster! Slow, dark, and superintense suspense work.

Kudos to actors, writers and the director!

a Mexican cartell story very interesting original , never boring very original,with great actors all along reminds of unknown of 2006 you are just thrown into this place don't know whats going on i like this kind of movie that keeps you guessing,again if you want to see something fresh new keeping you on the edge of your seat,perfect evening movie blown away ,and at times very violent which i don't have a problem with,very nice movie the kind i wish i had every evening to relax .no wonder i'm the first 10 lines is insane no problem for fake reviewers which are many on IMDb especially in the horror genre even this is more of a action/thriller.but again very much enjoyed it.especially the lead Daniel Faraldo is very impressive have noticed him the first time but the hole cast does a wonderful job .again i wish i had a movie like this every evening perfect entertainment.
