Sadly this is one of the worst Tom Cruise movies ever made. To me it felt more like a documentary than an actual movie. Just another attempt to cash in on the very "trendy" Escobar persona. The acting was OK because the actors are good, but they lucked the material that would allow them to "shine". Overall there was a huge shortage of emotion and suspense. I found some common "cool" elements with "The Wolf of Wall Street" regarding direction and pace, but even these failed to save the movie miserably. Why? Because this movie was not directed by Martin. So: This movie is like watching a documentary on the "Life of Barry Seal". Watch it on DVD.
