Rating: 4/5 --
At its heart, this is a soap opera - a bloody one, sure, but still a soap with deliciously ripe dialogue and a diva at the center.

For those who only know that Escobar was a narcoterrorist, the film will surely surprise you, scene after scene. [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: 2/5 --
Escobar is not without interest, sweep or colour, but bears signs of high-level, edit-suite indecision over what sort of movie it wants to be. It's an alluring product, inexactly cut.

A film that is correct and interesting, but still doesn't manage to escape the trappings of biopics. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 2/4 --
The film spends much too much time going over the same rise-and-fall material that has been a staple of many portrayals of Escobar himself and of most gangster films going back to the 1930's.

This mafia story without urbanity, is tinged with an overwhelming predictability, guided by an insistent and explanatory voice over, built on characters that are consumed in the same archetypes that inspire them. [Full Review in Spanish]
