This review of the documentary "Cartel Land" gives a great synopsis of the entire film. In many ways, the author of this review and I share some ideas about what we saw. One of the main comparisons that I found was how we both felt that this documentary was much like an action movie. In the article, the director of the documentary even said that he wanted it to be more like a narrative film that grabbed the viewers' attention as well as something that informed people of the horrible truth of cartels. It is clear to see that this documentary was made with the intentions of sticking with the viewers for life and it absolutely does so. I would be very surprised to find a negative review about this documentary because of the message it sends out.
