This was not an enjoyable watch by any stretch of the imagination. The whole time I was just wondering where this thing was going. It almost felt like watching a pilot episode of a TV show where all the foundations of the various subplots to unfold later on are first getting built out. I think the film just needed to do more to really engage me. The only scene of the movie that had me watching was the scene where the lady was giving birth while the drug dealers were intruding. But that's a cheap, Chicago Fire-esque method of demanding attention that I really don't care for. The lady giving birth while the scene was going down added absolutely nothing to the story.
The great cast is what initially got me to watch this in the first place. Tommy Lee Jones and Jenna Ortega? How does that not sound appealing? Despite that though, I found pretty much all the characters generally unlikable and the acting to be questionable. And I really didn't feel like Ortega was a good fit for the tough, drug dealing girlfriend-role. I just can't take her seriously in a role like that.
So really I fail to find the point as to why this movie was made. It has mediocre acting and a plot that jumps all over the place with not much cohesion.
