    Basically perfect. Wow. Megan Park deserves for all her projects to be green lit.

    As a writer, I can appreciate the layers to each character and story. Not to mention some great lyrics. But as a Latina, this was a slap on the face, specially to those who have suffered at the hands of the cartel or narco traficantes. 

    The fact that it’s getting so many oscar/award noms makes me think that there are no Latinx people in the voting committee. 

    Also, Zoe Saldana killed it. (She should be the only one collecting an award)

    The stars are there because of the concept, not the execution. Could have really made this a sick war epic, even if it was just about delivering mail. Kerry Washington ate, and Tyler Perry missed.

    I agree that a director should get the final cut, but I feel like you could have easily cut 1.5 hrs from this movie and still told an equally emotional and thought provoking story.
      
    All in all, it was a good immigrant story, mixed with the perils of pursuing your dreams in a country built with greed and power.

    In short: this is every film bro’s wet dream.
