Plot
Interlocking stories about the drug trade, from a Mexican policeman to a new American drug czar and a rich girl who is addicted.
Sinekatalog’s take
Soderbergh's multi-strand drug-war epic uses colour-coded cinematography to follow Mexico, Washington and San Diego. Dense and smart, it argues with itself in a way that feels honest rather than preachy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
