30 for 30: The Two Escobars (2010)
The Two Escobars
I too, as mentioned by some previous re-viewers, was intrigued with the subject matter. Being a huge football fan, always leads me to the path of such films, but twinning Andres Escobar's story with Pablo seemed to add an extra bit of intrigue for me. So I watched with fascination a world so far away from my own, now I don't really know much more about Pablo, other than the headlines. But this film seemed to make him out to be bit of a "Robin Hood" character. Maybe justified maybe not, but I suppose one of the best aspects of any docu-film is to inspire the viewer to find out more, which this film has. From a pure football prospective, it was a shame that some of the football commentary was "American" as they don't really get football, the one which stuck out was where they referred to the 2nd half and the "final half". I know I'm been picky, but hey that's what reviews are for? Overall if you're a football fan, you'll enjoy, if your interested in the drug world, again you'll enjoy, if your interested in what Colombia was like around that time, again you'll enjoy. So to the Zimbalist Brothers good job and looking forward to seeing your next movie.
