Notes

My quick rating - 6,2/10. This was a pretty funny movie. Pretty dark comedy about a businessman (David Oyelowo) who finds himself in a bit of trouble when his bosses take him down to Mexico for a business meeting. Well, the whole story unfolds as his company, led by Theron and Edgerton, are dealing a little more than Oyelowo is aware of. In a series of events, one less belieavable then the last, he finds himself trying to survive while everyone seems to think he is the key to everyones financial success, or demise. And in this movie, this is basically everyone against Oyelowo for there own reasons. The story just keps turning and drags you in as it goes on. The comedy is done so well, mostly due to Oyelowo being so clueless, and acting it out so perfectly that you may just find yourself rooting for him. I can't go into more detail, just check this one out and don't go in thinking mystery with a plausible plot, it isn't. But it is explained well enough to make you look past that and enjoy it. I did.
