The steelbook is nice. In reality it is a shiny, smooth, aluminium silver metal, which still works well with the imagery and style of the film (the picture here gave me the impression it would be a matte light brown). There is simple but effective visuals on the front and back of the steelbook, and a nice retro style still from the film across the inside, as can be seen in the provided pictures. The film itself is also great, although more of a drama than I thought it would be before I watched it, which is not a bad thing but might throw you off if you go in expecting a straightforward and focused action story. It is definitely not an action film, but raises questions about the morality of the US-Mexico drug war tensions, and definitely does have very good action when it does happen. Recommended.
