I just watched this last night. (on demand via fios)
Descriptives; edgy, sexy, beautiful, ugly, sunny, depressing, horrific, brutal. A cautionary tale for those who might be tempted to get into bed with a Mexican drug cartel.

The movie cast is all A-list.
Michael Fassbender
Penelope Cruz

Brad Pitt

No shortage of talent here.

The film centers around a successful attorney who gets talked into becoming involved in a scheme that ultimately hi-jacks a cocaine shipment from a notorious Mexican drug cartel. It is not like he wasn't warned before it becomes too late. But...

The film is more serious than the movie trailers suggested. This is not an adventurous, flashy caper flick. Cinematography is glorious at times. Dialog is catchy, intelligent and propelling. The main players speak philosophical about death and dying while they engage in lavish parties, take pet Cheetahs out into the desert to hunt jack rabbits, and bed each other. But watch close or you might miss some important bit of double-crossing.

I should add that toward the movie climax there is one of the most brutal and efficient killing scenes imaginable.

I can't say that I recommend it. I was looking for a new movie to watch when I saw the trailer. If you are looking for something to uplift your spirit, this isn't it.

I'd rate it R for sex, but X for violence.
