Catherine Hardwicke and Gareth Dunnett-Alcocer’s turn Gerardo Naranjo’s uneven gritty Mexican thriller about a beauty pageant contestant mixed up in a cartel war into an uneven slick Hollywood thriller about the American friend of a beauty pageant contestant mixed up in a cartel war. Some changes are improvements but it's Rodriguez that makes you want to cheer this otherwise generic shoot-em-up.
