Diaz was perfect; only problem was she may have been a tad too deadly and evil looking---- how didn't Cruz or Fassbdender get a clue? Javier noticed, but he seemed not to give a damn, the excitement was key for his character.
I think Tarantino or the Coens would have made a better film, but they wouldn't have kept the insanity of the philosophizing. It may have been also more entertaining as a caper film and that's why this was so successful: it balanced the violence with the moral.
I bet a viewer with a taste for the white stuff will think about a headless young woman before her/his next snort.
To make too exciting or entertaining, in the classical sense, a film would have been pornographic, in a deep sense. There's nothing fun about the drug trade, about the cartel, about their heartlessness and savagery. Comparing them to cheetahs, even, is an insult to the felines.
