Dark, Disturbing and Definitely wort watching

I started watching this after finding it on Netflix after i had finished all three seasons of Narcos. At first i was a little unsure as i dont usually watch foreign TV programmes. After the first episode i was hooked and intrigued. Its a dark story about the life of Joaquin 'el chapo' guzman. It shows his life from his upbringing and how he rose to be one of the most notorious and feared narcotics traffickers in Mexico. It shows how he rose from a simple drug dealer to a drug lord and how he took control over the drug cartels of Mexico. We also see a lot of the political backdrop of Mexico and how it changed over his life and how Mexico has developed.

Movie Rating

As Tony Scott films go this one’s a pretty decent effort. Redford is slick and sophisticated as a retiring CIA agent and Pitt is equally effective as his eager to learn student.

The tight script and shooting make for an entertaining mix of explosions and plot twists. Robert Redford plays Nathan Muir a soon to be retired CIA operative who has spent the past few years training his protege Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt).

When a routine extraction in China goes wrong Bishop is captured behind enemy lines and it is up to Muir to get through all the political red tape to help pull him out.

The film is tense even in the boardroom scenes, and we get a real sense of the relationship between Bishop and Muir with good use of flashbacks. This is first rate and another winning film from the late Tony Scott.
