The 3 protagonist villains are indestructible and walk off into the sunset after dispatching the Mexican cartel and eluding inept, U. S. police forces but this does sets up a sequel.
The first half of the movie was, especially when they confront the warden and his family. The violence and horror of that scene was very disturbing but it was consistent with the plot.
Then it goes off the rails. They kill a fellow inmate during an escape just to set up a contrived shootout with the Mexican Cartel and even worse, spend the next 30 minutes portraying them as likeable rogues. These people are despicable and deserve a bad end that never comes. What they did to the warden's wife was especially heinous. Anyway, after spending 30 minutes trying to get you to like the villains they show a final confrontation a cartel. The shootout was cartoonish.
The cartel gets picked off one at a time but continue their failed strategy of having isolated members stand perfectly still rooms waiting to be shot. They never look around and have no peripheral vision and yet remain confident until the very end. The cartel did manage to riddle every single bystander standing next to the 3 but barely scratch their 3 targets.
