This movie jumps back and forth through time way too much. Posting on the screen "Then" and "Now" is irritating and bad script writing. Let me remind you, this is NOT a time travel movie. If you can't tell a good story without jumping back and forth in time, , then or I mean now, you have a terrible movie. The movie should have been told in a more linear time frame, then it wouldn't have been a bad movie.
The movie concerns a trafficking mule who is made an assassin by a female drug lord. He falls in love with the drug lord's daughter which is a no-no. The drug lord sends a hit team after him but they accidentally shoot the daughter. Our man escapes but is hunted down by other assassins sent by the drug lord. Our man thinks the daughter is dead, but she is actually alive and the reason her protective drug lord mother wants the man dead.
A part two to this movie is implied but I bet it won't happen. This movie is convoluted with all the past and present experiences. And the writer is trying his best to emulate Tarantino but just doesn't have the directing chops. The characters are good but cardboard cutouts of various Tarantino characters. There's nothing that makes them distinct.
And the continuity is bad. For instance why does the main character's face have the same facial hair and length of hair two years before and now? The same for the clothing he wears.
Don't put in too much effort to watch this movie and accept it for what it is, a love story with some action thrown in.
