Benicio Del Toro plays real-life notorious Columbian drug-lord Pablo Escobar in this tense melodrama from first time director Andrea Di Stefano. When naïve Canadian surfer Nick (Josh Hutcherson) meets the love of his life Maria (Claudia Traisac), he soon finds himself in over his head as he discovers that Maria is the niece of cocaine trafficker Pablo Escobar. While the action focuses on Nick’s increasingly perilous situation, the film’s standout feature is the brilliant performance from Del Toro as the larger than life family man and public figure, who was nonetheless a ruthless criminal.
