I can't say enough good things about this movie - the deepest "action" movie I've seen in years. An extremely talented director, great music (hell, we start with Metallica's For Whom The Bell Tolls), exceptional photography and a very good cast of actors. It is really nice to see Charlie Hunnam pulling off a great performance after Sons of Anarchy, Ben Affleck proves that he has not forgotten his act and Pedro Pascal shows that he is much more than a series guy.
The story? It's about a tight-knit group of American veterans who've been on the losing side of the scales ("You’ve been shot five times for your country, you can’t even afford to send your kids to college") and are presented with an opportunity to color outside the lines a little bit - going after a drug lord and his wealth. This film is about their struggles to come to grip with their reality.
