Critic Consensus: Loving Pablo bungles its seemingly cinematic real-life story -- and a pair of talented stars -- in producing a lurid biopic that adds nothing to the Escobar subgenre.

As if the figure of the king of drug trafficking wasn't a stereotype canonized by thrillers addicted to the dirty business, 'Loving Pablo' looks us right in the eyes and tells us it has just invented chicken soup..

Like flipping through the pages of a pulpy best-seller, watching Loving Pablo has its moments of guilty pleasure but leaves an empty feeling when you reach the end.

Long, loud and lurid, with a distinct whiff of week-old quesito colombiano.

It is not doubtful that audiences will be drawn in to see Bardem and Cruz at work, but it's a shame that the film doesn't even attempt to exploit their talents. [Full Review in Spanish]
