People always talk about the Russians and the Irish as being ruthless, but fvck the Mexican cartels. Those mo-fo's terrify me to the bone.
I've read so many books on the subject that I have to see the movie. At the same time, I'm physically nervous about how brutal this movie could be because I've read those books. If it's done the way they actually do things down there, I'm gonna have a tough time watching this movie. It's hard to freaking read about that stuff much less see it on screen.

It's not particularly brutal or full of gore, though there is certainly some.
Honestly, it's the directing, cinematography, music/score and the performances that all come together and keep you on the edge of your seat.
Unlike a lot of movies in this genre, there isn't any cheesy dialogue or overly macho-ness. It's very believable and gritty. It feels very real

The movie does a very good job in giving the viewer a sense of evil that exceeds the normal maniacal "they'll cut your head off!" manner of typical cartel portrayal. Sort of hard to describe.
IMO, the darkest, most depraved corners of the planet right now (for purposes of entertainment portrayal) are portions of the ME, the former USSR states, and Mexico. Obviously the ME is well covered in some ways, the former Soviet states star in cheap thriller/action movies a lot, and there has been some attention to Mexico in tv shows and movies.
But good books and movies used to do a really good job of portraying not only the brutality of the USSR, but also the inevitability and hopelessness that dominated it. That's probably the best comparison I can give to how the cartels/Mexico are treated in this movie. It's dark. It's awesome.
