McAfee: Des virus aux démons

How incompetent can you be? Then to make matters worse, they spent the remainder of the time with these daf setup shots and B roll of people chopping wood or this and that - PALEESE - just admit that u don't have any relevant footage or worthwhile interviews and call it what it is - (I'll leave that up to yall)

I would have liked to see the documentary they were making with decent editing and camera work (looks like a child filmed this). Instead I saw tiresome mess consisting of more interviews of the makers of the document, than interviews of McAfee.

The basis for any decent documentary is that statements are checked and verified.

Well, this documentary does none of that. It just tells a story from one side in the hope that you believe it. Or at least to see what sticks to the wall. Because a lot of "facts" are thrown at the viewer that could have easily been checked with some authorities.

Why didn't they contact for instance the authorities of Belize to see what is true. Why wasn't the SEC or even the IRS asked for their opinion?! And since this is VICE - whom makes quite some documentaries on cartels - why didn't they also asked the Sinaloa cartel for their opinion.

What also would have been possible, is to have asked some security software experts to see what could have been true of McAfee's statements. How on earth could McAfee have keystroke software in computers of cartels, the U. S. government or the Belize government.

Is there not a mental illness that makes the patient believe that he is being observed and chased by the government?! So for all we know, McAfee was mentally ill?!

I find the documentary therefore a show of bad journalism. The content is though somewhat entertaining to watch. But I get the impression that is was watching more fiction than fact.

As someone who was previously very tied into and intrigued by the almost bond villan-like history of John McAfee, I was initially very excited to see a first-hand account of his endeavors at a personal level.

Overall, I felt that the actual storytelling and timeline of this documentary left a lot to desire and more questions than answers. A lot of the content focused more or less on the storytellig of the documentarians who followed him rather than making McAfee the focal point of of the story.

The overall structure and format of the documentary also seemed all over the place and seemed to follow a plot line and just pivot to something else. For instance, the ghostwriter who essentially knows his life story first-hand was given only a few minutes of screentime while being a great source for his background and history.

Candidly, I think this documentary would have been more effective as a 4 episode mini-series that spends more time developing and diving into the context of WHO John McAfee actually was on top of more context rather than constant sound bites and clips that don't really provide much context.

A documentary or an agglomeration of home videos from an eccentric millionaires yacht? The story had no flow and no message, just a few guys trying to make money off the fact they dedicated their professional careers to following McAfee around.
