A San Diegan socialite wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is forced to come to grips with reality when her lawyer (Dennis Quaid) informs her that her recently arrested husband (Steven Bauer) is a drug baron.Two D.E.A. agents (Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman) are on her tail with the hopes of making a high collar bust. A Tijuana cop (Benicio del Toro) with a conscience faces off against loyalty and trust when he comes between two rival drug cartels. How these stories whip weave leave for an exciting movie shot entirely in documentary style that will have people about it long after it's over.

I just got back from Mexico. It was my 3rd trip in the past year. The people there are humble, passive and hard working. I took my 11 year old daughter and I am a single mother. No one bothered us and we had the trip(s) of a lifetime. We did things off the resort. Not all of Mexico is like this movie, just the parts near Texas. Mexico is my favorite place, and I am a white American.

Steven Soderbergh saw years before what Mexico was going to become if the drug problem wasnt resolved fast.........few years later : a real war on the streets.

man wtf?? if the "drug problem" wasnt resolved fast??

JAJAJA thats fucking hilarious ok.. to start off the "drug problem" isnt just in the northern part even by watching this movie you can see that. there are like 4 major drug cartels in mexico and these are..

1. cartel de tijuana

2. cartel de sinaloa.

3. cartel de juarez.

4. cartel del golfo the stronger ones now are the first two and athough theres war goin on people can still come here to mx and nothing will happen to them...

As amazing as this movie was, the British mini-series on which it is based is, dare I say, even better.
