Killing Escobar

If the point of this documentary was to portray the lives of the mercenaries involved, it would have been a decent film. I've gained a deeper understanding of what it means to be a mercenary, but when it came to the point of the film, I realized that there were no bottom line to be found here.

Pablo Escobar is just a footnote in this documentary, making it kinda pointless to watch. Most of the film is about how the mercenaries got into their profession, while the assassination "attempt" is saved for last.

Over an hour of some guy telling you stories that sound ridiculous.

Escobar is just secondary. Don't spend your time watching this documentary!

Where to start... Why not with the title - it's misleading.

The rhetoric- it's boring.

The ranting - going on and on...

Arguably most importantly - the way their conduct is, not, scrutinised. These are not soldiers - they are simply murderers for hire. By their own admittance; they were hired by a group of "businessmen", agreed to kill a guy, traveled to a foreign country not knowing who it was and, once there, found out who their target was.

The mission they accepted was to assassinate a random guy. Talking about their undertaking as if they were an elite, special forces, outfit falls nothing short of pathetic.

I can't believe I just wasted an hour and a half watching this drivel.
