I found this to be an entertaining watch. It fits nicely in with recent films/tv like American Made and Narcos. Bryan Cranston is as always on form and Diane Kruger was excellent as his partner. The villains generally felt a bit one dimensional, but I did really enjoy Benjamin Bratt's performance, equal parts icy and charming.
The direction was tight, and the pacing was generally on point, but I felt that this lacked the visceral quality that Narcos achieved so well, and couldn't really play for humour in the same way as American Made.
This doesn't result in a bad film, but one that for me is ultimately lacking enough of an edge to really define it in the genre.
