Quote:When drug violence worsens on the USA Mexico border, the FBI sends an idealistic agent, Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) on a mission to eradicate a drug cartel responsible for a bomb that had killed members of her team.

I like Emily Blunt. She has a way of looking fragile, then being exactly the opposite. For me she is a strong lead for a film. The cast on this film is very strong, and I quite like the subject matter, so it was a no brainer to watch it. 
It's written in a clever way. You are given enough information to know what is happening - to a point - but kept in the dark over significant plot developements so that you are (almost) seeing it from Blunts eyes. It's FBI / taskforces and has a very real life feel to it as you would expect it to be smoke and mirrors all the time. 

I was initially a little disappointed with the ending. Not the finale - that was very good, but the very end of the film. BUT - It had me thinking for the next day or two, which for me shows how well written it was. I think my initial disappointment was because the film ran true to life. Life or death decisions made under pressure by real people, rather than gung ho cartoon characters who kill ten people in a  room without breaking a sweat. With hindsight it was a clever film, giving you a direct insight into the cloak and dagger dealings with the very secretive services that go on all the time.
