That is very much the case with Drug War, a film that effectively blends kinetic action, drama and thrills into one picture. The payoff will have most of you content enough to sit through it the entire way.įoreign films tend to be far better than mainstream Hollywood releases because they have a take no prisoners attitude, they're more confident in the way they're filmed, and they are much more exciting than many other films released by big studios. ![]() What I like best about these films is how little dialogue there is compared to American films. Overall, Drug War is a fine crime drama with some good acting from the leads. Now.since I don't know irritated me, but not to a point where I couldn't use common sense to figure out what those few words were or what was meant. You miss a few lines here and there because of it. They scrolled to fast or flat cut out when actors were speaking too quickly. I watched it on Netflix, and apparently, the subtitles were a problem for them. While not as intricate as The Departed with all the twists and turns and undercover cops, this had the feel of a Chinese version of that movie. While it's not necessarily an action movie, there are a few gun fights. At least, that's how I felt about the captain.įor one, the snitch turns so easily because he's looking out for numero uno, which is a key component throughout the film. A man is saved after his meth lab explodes by the cops and is then turned into a snitch by a greedy captain to get the bigger fish. Chinese cinema strikes again with another solid effort Drug War.
