Review of Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) by Ela M — 19 Aug 2015

For me the movie was very good. Much better than I expected. Everyone is talking about Benicio del Toro being the best part of the movie, but as much as I like his performence I thing that Josh Hutcherson's role in this movie is very much underestimated. For me he portrayed Nick perfectly and I personally think that this is an Oscar-deserving role.

I also don't get the low rating on this movie in general. Yes, it wasn't Escobar- centered, but was it supposed to be? I don't know I think the love story makes this movie much more tragic and really shows the hopelessnes of the whole situation. I loved the movie and I don't get it why so many people rated it so low.
