Escobar: Paradise Lost

POINTLESS, ok movie but not good. 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.

A beautifully filmed and acted story that will thrill and chill you from start to finish--I promise.

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

It kinda lingers for half the movie but the rest of it is very thrilling, especially the last half hour. Definitely worth the watch

Oddball title of the year! This movie can’t quite decide what it wants to be. But wow is Del Toro excellent. And Hutcherson holds his own, too, all things considered.

Uno dei personaggi più cinematografici degli ultimi anni, visto da una prospettiva diversa, quella di una persona a lui vicina; questo è il merito maggiore per Andrea di Stefano. Per il resto, tutto troppo veloce e troppo superficiale, non si entra mai nel profondo dei momenti vissuti; ci si limita a farne una carrellata per poter arrivare in breve tempo al momento in cui tutto si decide. Piacevole, ma si poteva fare di più.

A film that keeps you focused and basically on the edge, but somehow makes you question the realism in the plot, though there's no doubt Escobar was ruthless. The acting and cinematography is all over very good, as are the authenticity of small part actors, extras and locations. But despite Benicio del Toro being a brilliant actor, he is not fully credible in portraying Pablo Escobar. He's probably to special to appear as many historical persons, much due to his eyes. Javier Peña in the series Narcos was absolutely perfect.

Very deep meaning. Exposes the reality of life in a third world country. I greatly enjoyed this movie. It’s definitely not a light watch.

good movie based on true story. I enjoy the scene until the end, it also had the thrill in some situation. i thought this movie was about Pablo become the main role, but turns out this film in the perspective of his niece's boyfriend

Benicio del Toro was great, but Josh Hutcherson is just weak.
