Starring Benicio del Toro (“Traffic”) and Josh Hutcherson (“The Hunger Games”) this absorbing drama, hot off the screens in Toronto, is that rare genre – a romantic drug thriller based on historical events. Told from the perspective of Nick, an innocent Canadian visiting Columbia, the story unfolds during the final years of Escobar's reign. The young surfer falls in love with a beauty only to discover that her uncle is Pablo Escobar, the notorious drug kingpin. When Nick is invited to a party at a Xanadu-like fortress he finds himself entangled in a world of excess, corruption, and bloodshed.
