It was evenly paced. I wanted to watch it because I wanted to see a French Canadian film director work with some great actors and an interesting topic. It makes you feel like the war on drugs is a complete waste of time. The movie was interesting and had a lot of tension, but the over-arching topic made me feel like what a waste of life. Families die at the hand of someone else who is avenging a death or it's just in the name of drugs and drug money. I want to write so much of what I feel is wrong with drugs/drug users/ and the people who battle the drug Overloads but it'd be futile. Overall the movie was certainly one I would love to debate. Acting was great.

Love the reviews from all the pussies who "didn't need to see it, even if it's the truth". Fuck them. Some reality check is exactly what these people need. Emily Blunt played her weakling character perfectly.

I never knew what would happen next and I haven't felt such suspense at a movie in many years. Subject is very grim but I didn't think there was unnecessary violence. In a real life setting like the movie portrays I think it would be much worse. Amazing performances and direction.

A very intelligent film. Very intense. Not for everyone. Many people will not get on to it. Beautifully directed and well acted. Del Toro is great as usual. Don't miss this one.

Too violent and gory. Just over the top with the killing. I mean, little kids are terrified, then killed just because their dad is a bad guy. It's just wrong. Why are we subjected to watching this level of violence?

Masterful cinematography. It action could have easily been overdone - instead the violence wasn't gratuitous. The pacing allowed for thought. Del Toro was powerful. Blunt was honest. Not filled with cliches and the usual drivel hollywood pumps out. Best movie of the year, hands down.
