Looking like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, Salma's kingpin character wages war with small-time American dope dealers played by Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch (John Carter, Battleship) once again playing a character with military training, in this case an ex-Navy seal. Benicio del Toro and this year's Academy Award nominee Demian Bichir (A Better Life) play her henchmen while Taylor Kitsch and Blake Lively are caught in her web. And speaking of Pulp Fiction, John Travolta and Uma Thurman co-star in the Oliver Stone film.
Based on Don Winslow’s best-selling crime novel, Ben (Johnson) and Chon's (Kitsch) shared girlfriend is kidnapped by Elena's Baja cartel when they refuse to join her criminal organization. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
