escobar: paradise lost (2014)

"It was you, Nick. It was your intervention that got those people killed. You're as guilty as I am."
Fictionalised account of the last days of Pablo Escobar (Benicio Del Toro), intertwined with and told via Nick (Josh Hutcherson), a Canadian who marries Escobars niece (Claudia Traisac), and is drawn into events.
Intriguing drama, that goes some way into showing the charisma that drew many to the cult of personality that Escobar surrounded himself with, but beneath this was a man who would do anything.
