With an almost inconceivable level
of access to his
subjects, embedded filmmaker Matthew Heineman captures the on - the - ground activities
of two vigilante groups that rose up to combat the Knights Templar, a
drug cartel based in the Mexican state
of Michoacán and notorious for acts
of medieval atrocity and terror.
While clearly happy to use the murky
subject matter as a source
of entertainment, Ubisoft also appear keen to remind us that while taking on the global
drugs trade and South American
drugs cartels in a virtual world can be a lot
of fun, there is a far darker real life war that the game takes inspiration from.
