    Cheap, bad acting, silly plot

    Although based on a true story the plot is just flat and only shows the stupidity of the person the movie was based on. The only surprise within the movie is that a "boss" who made it to a level where he dealt with thee cartels would be this basic.

    Acting is quite bad and the characters totally underdeveloped with no background story.

    The worst movie I ever came across!

    I don't know who gave the money for this to be shot. This is the lamest most boring movie I ever saw. The acting from the main character down to Danny Trejo is so poor, and the directing is non existent. I think that this is ac lear example of money laundering or some other scheme.

    There is no 0 so I had to give it 1, totally undeserved.

    This does not Deserve a 7.5 Rating!

    To be honest the movie starts off real good. Moody and interesting, with good acting and directing.

    But then somewhere around the half way mark it takes a really bad turn. And somehow the same actors who were doing a real good job acting, suddenly become really bad actors.

    And the script gets stoopid.

    Too bad. Could have been a really entertaining movie.

    The worst movie I ever seen.

    Don't waste your time buddies. Go for a walk or anything else instead.

    That's the worst acting I have ever seen. Waste of money making this movie unless the actors paid the director.

    Barely entertainment

    This could have been a decent film, the lead actor was miscast, he doesn't have much acting experience, and he was a bit wooden. The rest of the cast was okay, the Mexican cartel leaders are probably the best performances, but they couldn't save the film. The directing was poor, they overused the drone landscape footage, and they were just really out of their league. It felt like a really low budget production, and was not particularly entertaining.
