A bit of everything, not enough of anything

"War Within the Cartel" is the newest entry to the "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands" series and this one here runs for slightly over half an hour. It was released very recently (spring 2017) and the mention of Tom Clancy in the title already tells you that this little film is of course based on a video game series as well. So yeah, this is a live action film and like I said in the title it offers a bit of everything: drama, crime, action, sci-fi and even a touch of romance. But sadly, I cannot say I was convinced by any of these genre aspects in here. I may be a bit biased as I am not really familiar with Tom Clancy's stuff, but I do believe that you shouldn't know anything else to enjoy a specific project and I did not enjoy this one here. It's very generic and very much by the books, but it is never memorable unfortunately. I would only recommend checking it out to the very biggest Tom Clancy fans as even at a rating of slightly over 6, it is still pretty overrated. It's not a failure by any means, but just not good at all either. I am not sure to which extent director Avi Youabian can be blamed here and it may be a bit mean to say he should stick to editing the likes of "The Walking Dead" as the real problem here is probably the story and it is ridiculous to see so many writers working on it and then it turns out so forgettable. Watch something else instead.

Please Do Not Waste your Time !!! Runaway Fast....

OMG This is one of the very worst movies I've ever seen. Lacking any kind of decent story line and the acting is sad.

I guess I should have started out with I will sit thru and enjoy movies that my wife hates and I enjoy. In other words I will watch and enjoy most movies.

This one however was just stupid maybe I would have enjoyed it if they would have finished the story with at least another hour of movie. But No !!! then just ended it with there butts walking up to a top of a hill.

So once again no matter if you like the game or not do not waste your time.

Stupid Stupid Stupid Movie......

Great addition to the Wilddlands game version

As a gamer, and current Ghost Recon Wildlands player, I was very pleased to see this title. The Point of view is of the enemy, Santa Blanca cartel.Wildlandsgame version concentrates on game play over cinematic clips.This short films adds a lot to the story line, which is minimal, compared to other game titles. A clever move by the producers.

If you are not a gamer & watch this tile then you should definitely see the collection of cinematic, and briefings from the game on a other site to get the full story.I would recommend to play it, and personally experience the Ghosts' experience.
