Very good "Heart of Darkness"-type film. Not a masterpiece by any means, but it gets across its ideas through a well-paced plot and, overall, some great acting (Blunt being the weak link here by a good margin). Superb atmosphere and someVery good "Heart of Darkness"-type film. Not a masterpiece by any means, but it gets across its ideas through a well-paced plot and, overall, some great acting (Blunt being the weak link here by a good margin). Superb atmosphere and some truly, truly beautiful cinematography, although the "grittiness" is at times shoved down your throat. I found it very akin to Zero Dark Thirty.

Del Toro, Kaluuya and the guy from Burn Notice turn in great performances. Brolin does a great job as an off-the-grid loose cannon and brings home the comic relief.

GREAT movie, that was entirely undersold by the trailer. I actually think that Josh Brolin seals the show. Can't imagine there will be many better movies for the mainstream moviegoer this year.

Can't imagine there will be many better movies for the mainstream moviegoer this year. Of course, there will be long, boring biopics trotted out for Oscar season, but for my money, this very narrowly tailored and spare film will beat them all. Everyone in my theater was on the edge of their seats. Phenomenal stuff. Expand

My movie of the year so far. Villeneuve's shots are beautiful, and his control of pace and tone are really unmatched these days. The intensity in some of those tunnel sequences and pursuit scenes is palpable. Felt a little like the secondMy movie of the year so far. Villeneuve's shots are beautiful, and his control of pace and tone are really unmatched these days. The intensity in some of those tunnel sequences and pursuit scenes is palpable. Felt a little like the second half of Zero Dark Thirty. Blunt is obviously solid, but Benicio is over-the-top incredible. Probably his best performance in a now-long career. A great companion piece to this film is FX's "The Bridge", which touches on many of the same Juarez-related issues. Expand
