Misplaced, moving to the correct tab under Hypocrite rather than Values Dissonance


* ValuesDissonance: Lado, who commits murder, torture, rape, and is unfaithful to his wife, calls the protagonists "savages" for participating in a committed polyamorous relationship between consenting adults.

* NightmareFuel:
** The very first scene in a movie is a line of men being prepared for execution by the cartel. Then you hear a chainsaw starting up, and the scene cuts to black, though you can still hear the screaming. Later, footage of [[{{Gorn}} the incredibly nasty aftermath]] is sent to Ben and Chon, setting off the movie.
** [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Alex's death]]. He's whipped and tortured until [[EyeScream his eye is left dangling out of its socket]], forced into a tire, doused in gasoline, then set alight.



* SpiritualSuccessor: The film at times comes across as a loose remake of ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid''.

* {{Squick}}: Ophelia [[SpitefulSpit spitefully spits]] in Lado's face at one point. His reaction is to ''lick it up.''

* EvilIsSexy: Elena definitely qualifies considering she's played by Creator/SalmaHayek.


* WMG/PoisonOakEpilepticTrees: The theory that the ImagineSpot first ending is completely true. O secretly cared for Lado so she created a happy ending where he won and both Chon and Ben lived.

MEH is a singe moment, not this if they don't have a clear one.


* MoralEventHorizon: It's tough to pin down when exactly Lado crosses it. Perhaps it's when he orders Esteban to murder a woman generally unassociated with the previous cartel. Or threatens to kill Dennis' children. [[spoiler:Or kills Esteban for being "too soft." Or when he rapes O.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lado. Even most people who didn't like the movie itself have highly praised Benicio Del Toro's performance as the monstrous, but so very entertaining psychopath, labelling him as arguably being THE most interesting and engaging character. Elena and Dennis have gotten a decent amount of praise too, even if it hasn't been nearly as unanimous as with Lado.

* TheScrappy: The protagonists have all gotten at least a little bit of flack, but O easily gets the most among most people for various reasons. Some have complained that her narrative segments are grating, if not unbearable, others think that she's too bland and one-dimensional to be the character that drives the plot and connects all of the others, and there are some who can't stand her annoying demands for getting better food and accomodations from her kidnappers when she should feel grateful to even be alive in the first place (this ''is'' the Mexican Drug Cartel after all, not a group that's well-known for their hospitality).
