This is very well done. Well worth watching. (If you liked Sicario you'll like this one).
This action film follows a woman whose friend has disappeared after a party and her efforts to find and release her. The wonderful tortuous storyline takes her into a cartel gang where she must cooperate or face grave consequences, which she does. She cannot trust anyone and uses her wit and strength to survive and keep pursuing her goal of finding her friend.
Suspense and action highlight this really interesting film.
