Miss Bala (2019)

Gloria's visit to a friend down in Tijuana goes wrong when a club they're in is shot up. The perpetrators know that Gloria can identify them, so they force her to work for them while promising they'll locate her friend. She is then also forced to work as a mole for the DEA within the criminal organization.

No problem, though. She's somehow a badass who is impervious to the bullets flying around her and the rapey-ness every other woman in the vicinity experiences. Well, that's not exactly true -- she has to PG-13 strip for the crime lord and gets caressed. For a movie heavily laced with forced-prostitution, what we actually see on-screen is pretty tame. I'm not really complaining about this.

Just a predictable but fairly competent bore that could almost be a TV movie.
