The Logistics of the Abyss: A Look at "Running with the Devil" (2019)
One of the most interesting sequences follows the batch across borders, showing how the price sky-rockets at every hand-off.
In the crowded landscape of cartel thrillers, (2019) attempts something a bit different. Instead of just focusing on the shootouts or the high-stakes negotiations, writer-director Jason Cabell —himself a former Navy SEAL—takes us on a gritty, step-by-step "audit" of the international drug supply chain.
Enter (Nicolas Cage), a cold, calculated enforcer tasked with tracing the product from its source in South America all the way to its final destination in North America. Alongside him is The Man (Laurence Fishburne), a volatile, unhinged distributor who might be using a bit too much of his own supply. What Works: The "Narcos" Factor
