You know how some books are written by a Ghost Writer? That is a person who wrote the book but another is given the credit for it. This Oliver Stone film stinks of a movie that must of had a Ghost Director. Isn't Oliver Stone capable of better? This movie looks like (before you watch it) a movie that is going to be all punches like Goodfellas, Scarface, Platoon or even Lord of War. And yet, its not. Not even close to any of those. Oh how it tries to be some memorable movie about cartels and drugs but its not. It is FORGETTABLE.
The plot ran slowly. And slowly can be good in well directed movies yet this one wasn't like I say it went nowhere. For example Breaking Bad is mostly slow, but it is well done slow and it always leads somewhere. This movie was slow and pretentious and had three of the worst actors in Hollywood. It truly went nowhere really.
Taylor Kitsch (John Carter, Battleship) can not act, especially in a lead roll. Any movie this guy is given to be a lead in ends up being terrible. His acting is nonexistent and he needs to be reduced to a back up role.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick Ass) not since Jon Heder has there been a nerd type actor who has been thrown into many others rolls. He is the best of the three bad actor leads but still not a lead role for an actor like this.
Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) is the worst leading lady I have ever witnessed. She just can't act and her voice over in this movie just gets really really really annoying. What more can I say, you likely seen this movie if you're reading the "Hated It" reviews on IMDb so you know what I mean.
Selma Hayek, John Travolta and Benicio Del Toro where fine in this movie. Also not their finest but not their worst performance either. They where just what you would expect to see from them.
All in All, I hated this movie. It was terrible and boring and one of those movies that makes me feel I need to vent so I wrote a review here on IMDb. See my other reviews if you are interested.
