NY time review of Cartel Land

The New York Times talked highly of director, Matthew Heinman, but mainly discussed some of his major downfalls. The article believes the film had no directional point of view. I think the point of the film was to not have just one, but many points of view to give the watchers a better understanding through different perspectives. The article tells that Dr. Mireles and Mr. Foley only share the same interests in guns and some sort of justification for their groups, but other than that, there is no correlation between them and neither show any sort of logic to the ongoing problems. I think it some terms that is correct, but it is nice to have opposing viewpoints to get a better understanding from both views. Also, there really isn't a valuable solution to be mentioned, as the drug war has been going on for awhile. The article also stated that the film moves so quickly that it doesn’t give you much time or space to think through the serious, urgent issues it raises. I beg to differ as even the most gruesome scenes left a lasting mental note in my head, keeping me wondering about those particular events.
