Based on the true story of Cartel drug lord Pablo Escobar (Javier Bardem) and his scorned newscaster mistress (Penélope Cruz) who brought him to his end. That's about it. Great to have lived a life to have Penélope Cruz play your part...not so great to have Javier Bardem play you.
The film starts in 1993 with Virginia being placed in protection and then she tells the story that starts in 1982. She was attracted to Pablo as the "Robin Hood" of Columbia because of all the homes he was building for the poor. It wasn't until there was a body count did she start to care about his business. The one US Interstate scene was a hoot.
Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Javier Bardem major league butt shot)
