One of the best films I have seen last year. What made this movie
so great it is so beautifully crafted in every department. The acting
is great. Camerawork is stunning and the colors are beautiful. But
the best of the whole damn thing is the screenplay.
It takes the issue of drugs and drug-trafficking and highlights every
part of it. From the lonely, rich teenage girl, to the corrupt Tijuana
police officer to the top U.S. judge trying to grasp the size of the
problem.
Some friend told me it gets to preachy and "happy" near the end. I
disagree, if there wasn't something of a message attached at the
very end it would have been a very nihilistic experience. The final
message of the movie was that it isn't so much the drug trade that
is the problem, the problem is people getting hooked.
