Underrated Gangster movie, the best Spanish Gangster movie of all time if not one of the Best
I want to start off by saying that I've seen A LOT of gangster/mobster movies. I just love the genre and I found this movie as a pleasant surprise. It had excellent acting, cinematography, and it was never boring even for one second. It was just an emotional love story that took place in cocaine capital of the world, Colombia, in the year 1993 shortly after the death of the most infamous drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.
This movie reminds me so much of the Netflix TV Show "Narcos". If you love that show like I do, then you'll definitely love The Snitch Cartel. It seriously is as entertaining, Latin charismatic, cinematography-good, nice to look at settings/environments, and sex-filled as Narcos.
Also props to the whole cast who did an amazing job in acting. I was surprised by how good Kuno Becker was in this movie since I thought his acting was only okay in "Goal! The Dream Begins" (2005) (I really freakin love that movie btw. So inspiring.) He reminded me of a Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven (2005). He just did such a good job. I'm proud of him.
This is my first movie review, but I had to make one since I loved this movie so much and saw there were only 2 reviews for it. I was close to giving this movie a 10/10 especially because of how awesome and perfect the cinematography is but the shoot-out scene and the ending disappointed me since I didn't feel it was realistic in the world of cartels (but I was still more than entertained).
Other gangster/mobster movies I would recommend are: American Me (1992), City of God (2002), The Roaring Twenties (1939), The Public Enemy (1931), Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time (2012), Carlito's Way (1993), and of course Scarface (1983)
