I know the original story background, but I am so disgusted and tired of Clint Eastwood and his all American propaganda, demonized Mexican drug cartel members, it's just sick. Before I watched the trailer I knew......the hero is the aging white American male, who
didn't know he was trafficking 250 kilo loads from Arizona to the Detroit area, and his handlers weren't Sinaloa bagmen and errand boys. This paints it as a mistake, and a good man, the forgotten man, getting in over his head, only for the "big Government" and Mexicans to enter as the true villains. This is just offensively stupid. Another white male hero story.
Check the actual story, and his guilty plea.
