Overview
- Reviewers describe a high-concept setup in which the teen children of deep-cover DEA agents raid cartel stash houses, drawing dangerous attention.
- Dave Bautista’s turn as agent Ray is widely credited with grounding the film emotionally and elevating otherwise routine material.
- Both outlets say the movie wobbles between teen adventure and gritty cartel drama, pointing to Michael Dowse’s direction and the Tom O’Connor/Gary Scott Thompson script.
- The release is billed for Nov. 14 with a 1 hour 43 minute runtime, an R rating, and a cast that includes Jack Champion, Bobby Cannavale, Sophia Lillis, Tony Dalton, and Kate del Castillo.
- Reviews note an end-of-film sequel tease, and Bautista told UPI the team aimed to balance fun with real stakes while seeing potential for a franchise.
