DO NOT GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Poor, poor Don Winslow. Awesome writer but unfortunately, no one's made a good movie out of any of his books yet. This one's not an exception.
Pretty much everything about this movie sucks. It is overwritten (voiceover opens the film and NEVER STOPS), miscast, over-scored (with music from HEAT and other movies), over-directed... it's just a piece of garbage.
If you think you'll like this film, see WAY OF THE GUN instead. It is a far better outlaw film with better acting, direction, script, and score. Benicio is in that one as well.
This movie is so bad that there are literally two endings and they're both horrible HORRIBLE.
I cannot recall the last time I saw a movie in the theatre and there was a universal, collective GROAN from the audience. I burst out laughing. The first unsatisfying ending happens and you wait for the credits to roll but instead, a second ending starts and everyone GROANS. Hilarious.
