             Kate Macer (Blunt) is an FBI agent, recruited into a US task force to bring down a powerful and vicious Mexican drug cartel leader. She finds herself surrounded by a gang of obnoxious macho tough guys. She doesn’t trust any of them and the whole operation is fishy from the start.

            There’s action and violence enough for anybody which makes it boring. It’s full of stereotypes. I don’t like films like this.

            Blunt and Kaluuya as her partner Reggie are sorely wasted here.
