First of all this film is not really about Pablo Escobar, the story is told from the perspective of Nick (the boyfriend of Pablo's niece) and how he casually gets into Pablo's world.
That;s explains the misleading title but nevertheless i enjoyed this movie. Benicio Del Toro does a great job portraying Pablo Escobar. Josh Hutcherson isn't the best actor in the world but does a good job. After the first 15 minutes you get over hey that is the guy from The Hunger Games.
The story is not really that surprising: boy meets girl, is innocent and gradually gets sucked into a world that shocks him. About the fact that it is supposed to be a true story, the makes never say anything about that it is so it is just a story with a character that actually existed.
So is this a film you must see? No it isn't but i enjoyed it.
If you like a well-made film with above average acting and you can overlook some obvious storytelling tricks see it.
