The Tortured Underbelly of the Drug War
27 November 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

8.8 of 10. Taking the elements of gross-out humor and applying it to a crime drama/thriller provides something new, insightful, scary, and amusing, but does require a strong stomach.

The grossing-out starts quickly, so there's very little time to prep yourself. Just when you think the gross stuff is easing up, something more subtly gross from real life gets introduced. As a result, the film is continually immersive while still providing no shortage of strange situations.

The characters and actors also do an exceptional job of providing the yucks. There's only 1 attractive main character with the rest being disgusting in either or both form and action. It all builds up to smart and surprising ending that should also impress crime mystery lovers.
