hell yeah, this is already a step up from sodenbergh's last film.
i think the story doesn't really get engaging until the 2nd act and i think some characters were just there for more bodies at the end.
the best part was the chemistry between terrence stemp and luis guzmán.
the colors were also really cool to look at.
