Their idyllic life is shattered when the Mexican Baja Cartel demands that the trio partner with them. But the cartel's merciless boss, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bonds among these three friends.

Salma Hayek was incredibly good in this film. If the film had been received better, a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her for sure. =( 1 day for me!
Day one for me! I am Oliver Stone fan, he changed my idea of films when I saw Platoon in the 6th grade forever. Lately his films have been ok not the greatness that he showed early on. I have not seen this mind you, but it looks up my alley. Plus it's a day before my birthday might be able to get someone to get it for me so I don't have to shell out the cash haha.
