Netflix always had the budgets and the look, but the movies always seem to lack a certain soul or heart, not to mention this having the most cliched and overdone device, with the well worn put upon American white man hero storyline extra emphasized. I've only watched the trailer, but I can tell I doubt I'll watch this,

Cliched drug lord in luxury mansion, check

Grizzled group of special forces on one last mission, check

Lush jungle settings and a betrayal or two, check

There are cases of ex commandos working for criminals and worldwide executions, but this goes so far over the top, it turns cartoonish. I feel the same way about Narcos. It looks good, but is just empty of any real insight or nuance about the worlds it is interested in.

lol smh

I thought that's when the movie got better. :manny: turned into a little adventure flick.

But yeah overall it was missing something. Sort of anti climatic as well. It's a decent watch tho, I'll give it 6.5/10 for being better than I expected.
