Looks good. Saw the poster in the theater just yesterday. Watched the trailer today.

OMG! where does this take place? Juarez, Mexico? I grew up 45 minutes from there....
Only part of it does, not sure about the rest of the Mexico parts do. Most of it actually takes place in AZ.

The opening scene of "Chandler, AZ" is quite funny if you know what Chandler actually looks like. This is one of those movies that gives AZ a bad name perception-wise.

Saw it tonight. Meh. Only cost $5.99 to rent.
I liked it, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The segments individually are pretty good, but as a whole? I'm on the fence. It's a fairly slow paced movie though.

I did like the score during the suspense parts was pretty kick-ass. Some of it is in the trailer.

I enjoyed the Josh Brolin character big time. Emily Blunt character aggravated the living.... out of me.

I watched a little over a half of this and turned it off. It was way too slow, even though the action parts were cool. I thought it would be action the entire way through

Emily Blunt's character came off waaaay too whiny. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro were fantastic. I agree with what someone said about the score during some of the scenes, very intense.

This is not a movie I would buy.

Finally got around to seeing this. I enjoyed it, but man, was the awful writing for Blunt misogynistic AF! It would have been way more interesting (and less misogynistic) to see a hard-nosed MALE FBI agent totally break down like a little girl in the face of the new 'world' they find themselves in. Instead the tough female lead is turned into a sniveling little nothing. What a waste of a great talent!

Yeah, Brolin's character was great. The pace didn't bother me, but I agree with all the comments about Blunt's character being annoying.
