The Logistics of the Abyss: A Look at "Running with the Devil" (2019)
If you’re a fan of Nicolas Cage or Laurence Fishburne, or just a sucker for underworld logistics, here is why this film deserves a spot on your watchlist (and where it might trip over its own feet). The Premise: Auditing the Cartel
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.
When a massive shipment of cocaine is compromised, the "Boss" (Barry Pepper) doesn't just send muscle—he sends an auditor.
One of the most interesting sequences follows the batch across borders, showing how the price sky-rockets at every hand-off.
The film’s biggest strength is its fascination with process. Cabell draws on his real-world experience to show the "end-to-end" life cycle of the product: We see the farming and harvesting in Colombia.
