Escobar: Paradise Lost

Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Nick, a young Canadian surfer, moves to Colombia to join his brother, falls hard for a local woman named Maria, and then she introduces him to her uncle. The uncle is Pablo Escobar, the most feared man on the continent.

Benicio del Toro builds Escobar from quiet menace: a warm family man who decides over dinner who gets to live. Josh Hutcherson plays Nick as the naive outsider pulled into the family business until walking away stops being an option. Andrea Di Stefano's directing debut hangs everything on one nerve: what love costs when your future in-law runs a cartel. The film rises and falls with del Toro, and his performance is the reason to press play. Stream Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) online on iFILM.
