Grim
What dirty tricks are hidden under the seat of power?In the film Soldado: The Soldier, you wouldn't dare to be the enemy of the state, and wouldn't want to wish it for the worst of your enemies.
Don't try to mess with the United States government because they can (and will) hunt you down. So think hard, and think twice, before you even think of any attempt to out-gun, out-smart, and demolish them.
In the film, we'll discover that agent Matt is a believer that the end justifies the means. So when the Mexican government busted the mission, Matt ordered to kill Isabela. But Alejandro refused, turning him rogue, and is now being hunted by the same people who included him on this dirty mission – CIA agent Matt and the government.

Scary
Just imagine stepping inside the cinema to experience the type of fear and terror that isn't supernatural nor superhuman at all. No ghosts, no chilling horror sound effects, no caped heroes swooping in to save the day.
