    A captivating story
    This film tells the life of Pablo Escobar and his mistress Virginia.

    The story is captivating because it is intense and suspenseful. There is a constant threat of danger to all the characters involved. Many people lose their lives, yet fortunately the film is not too graphically gory. I feel sorry for the characters, and what happened to them.
