This was quite a movie to watch. Started watching it after taking a little break from a session on PS4. Launched Amazon Prime Video and this was there, in the home screen, a new movie. I said "why not!". I like Owen Wilson, I believe he deserves more credit than what is currently given to him. His acting skills in this movie are just great, though yes you still have his style in it (only the "wooow" is missing). Salma Hayek on the other hand is OK, does the job, but I feel that something is amiss in her acting - and no, not because she portrays an addicted person.

Now, to the movie. Photography is excellent, special effects also deserve kudos because they are well done and do not feel too fake (like, for example, in "The Ice Road"). At first I did not know what to make of this movie, did not watch the trailer so I really approached this with no knowledge or expectations at all. The story is OK, they build it up, and you think is going where you think is going, but then you are left with an ending that is open to interpretation. For example, were all those people really killed? If not, why was the police after them? The movie wraps it up without much happening towards the development of the story, and I feel that overall the structure of it is: slow start, surprise, build up, build up, plateau, plateau, wrap without really conclusion/answers.

So yeah, interesting movie, I wish they provided the ending it deserved.
