Review of Drug War (2012) by Ryan K — 15 Dec 2013
A few generic narrative hiccups and under-cooked character moments aside, "Drug War" finally makes way for one of the most breathless action set pieces of the year, and certainly 2013's best crime procedural overall.
In laying out but cleverly only ever hinting at the devious political strategy behind the scenes of both sides in the narcotic legal divide, on the red streets of China or St. Elsewhere, "Drug War" feels like a new genre classic -- violent, witty, worldly filmmaking.
It isn't to be forsaken multiple reckonings. (82/100).
