Really well-done action scenes in my opinion


But overall it's also super-cheesy, super-contrived, kind of pretentious and stylistically cliched, and the storytelling isn't exactly engaging even if it's passable.

At its best it has a Max Payne in Mexico vibe (a la Max Payne 3). At its worst it seems like a made-on-the-weekends-with-a-camcorder microbudget indie, directed by someone who is trying too hard to ape a Robert Rodriguez-meets-Guy Ritchie feel.

There's some "i'm crazy, i don't know what to do!" going on in the editing of the action scenes of this movie.
Can't say if it's really bad or what..
