R T @SUFIYANKHANN_ May 21 Escobar: Paradise Lost is a gripping thriller with a dark and tense atmosphere. The movie slowly pulls you into Pablo Escobar's dangerous world through the eyes of a young outsider, which makes the suspense feel very real. Benicio del Toro absolutely steals the show as Escobar, calm, terrifying, and charismatic at the same time. It's not a full biopic, but as a crime drama, it's intense, emotional, and definitely worth watching if you enjoy cartel movies like Narcos.

The part I enjoyed the most was that everyone was walking past the beggar in front of the church door, that everyone ignored, by not giving him a cent. Basically a lot of killing, most of it innocent people who helped escobar, and that was his payment. Doesn't delve deeply enough on any point to make it interesting. Motto of the story, don't trust drug dealers. If you didn't learn that at an early age, now you know. NRJ.

See more Giorgio G @GioBlob 12/19/2022 I finally had the chance to see "(Escobar) Paradise Lost" and Wow, what a movie. Fantastic story and perfectly directed. Tense up to the very last second. As I had lived a year in Colombia owing a handicrafts/souvenir shop, starting just months after Pablo Escobar and other big bosses of the cartel had struck a deal with the government (not to be extradited to the US), I have personally seen the brutality of criminals and the whole society there. It was the most terrifying year of my life, including a man being shot right in front of my shop, with five bullets in the back, followed by another 5 right into his head. Afterwards the killer just smiled at me, being crouched in my store, and simply jump onto a motorbike with his companion. And this movie shows the truth and reality of all this scenery pretty down to the core. The movie is scarily real. 8/10 points See more stoner j @Stoner 10/01/2022 It kinda lingers for half the movie but the rest of it is very thrilling, especially the last half hour. Definitely worth the watch See more Read all reviews
