Killing Escobar
CrimeDocumentaryDrama93 min
At the height of Pablo Escobar’s power in Colombia, a small team of elite mercenaries mounts an operation to assassinate the Medellín cartel boss. Paul Donnelly and Christian Jenner are among the onscreen figures in this true-crime account, which stays close to the planning of the mission, the men recruited for it, and the risks of taking aim at one of the world’s most notorious drug lords. The focus is the operation itself: who assembled it, how it was meant to work, and what stood in the way.
