Excellent movie
Katie was very annoying
as a character. I got the impression she was suffering from post
traumatic stress after every second scene. This is a woman with a
military background and she would completely breakdown at the sight of a
dead body.
As soon as she learns that what they were up to wasn't completely legal, she takes a complete hissy fit. One minute she wants to put an end to the whole thing and the next she wants in all the way. Yet, the other lead characters hold her hand all the way through the movie like she's relevant to the operation in some way, which she wasn't.
The story line was was unrealistic, incoherent and weak. It's almost like they somehow needed to mash, shoot outs, drug cartels, the CIA and a female interest together and then came up with a story in 5 minutes.
Apart from the cinematography which was very good, I genuinely cannot recommend the movie in anyway.
