An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico.

What a film. This is coming from the same director of Prisoners (2013) and Enemy (2015).

There is a certain overlay of intense atmosphere created throughout some of the scenes which really sets this film apart from other's that cover the same subject matter. It gave me strong impressions of Traffic from back in 2000. Some are calling it sexist, despite the lead character been female.. because of it's portrayal of women, but this is nonsense. It's brutally honest and real about what's going on.. nothing is held back. Benicio Del Toro kills it.

Cuts to the bone, would recommend.
