Escobar: Paradise Lost is premiering this week in a limited run, despite the first trailers being released almost a year ago. It’s a fictionalized portrayal on Pablo Escobar, an infamous Colombian drug lord, from the perspective of Nick, an ex-pat surfer who falls in loves with Escobar’s niece. It appears to be nearly entirely fictionalized, but that doesn’t mean the movie won’t be interesting (some reviews are very promising).
I’ll most likely watch this once it’s On-Demand or on Netflix. If you want to learn about the real Pablo Escobar, I recommend watching the ESPN documentary The Two Escobars, which is streaming on Netflix.
