Entel builds a thoroughly compelling portrait of Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria – doting father, philanthropist, wannabe politician, drug dealer, murderer, terrorist – making the most of a wealth of archive material and candid interviews with his exiled son; less successful, however, is the horribly awkward and irredeemably contrived-feeling bringing together of said son and the sons of a pair of politicians that he had had assassinated.
