Lower is better
Review
The movie has zero woke content. It follows CIA black ops agents engineering a war between Mexican cartels to stop terrorists smuggled across the US border. The narrative sticks to violence, revenge, and dirty tactics with no identity politics, no girlboss arcs, and no activist lectures. Casting stays true to the Mexican cartel premise with no forced diversity or signaling.
