Opening in theatres this week is the explosive new thriller, Escobar: Paradise Lost, which stars Benicio Del Toro as the titular drug lord and Josh Hutcherson as a young man who becomes romantically involved with his niece. Suffice to say, things take a dark turn from there.
Full of dread and suspense, not to mention a thrilling final act, Escobar: Paradise Lost first premiered back at the Toronto International Film Festival to mostly solid reviews, with our own Jordan Adler concluding the following about it:
