Running with the Devil: l'incredibile storia di John McAfee

A documentary or an agglomeration of home videos from an eccentric millionaires yacht? The story had no flow and no message, just a few guys trying to make money off the fact they dedicated their professional careers to following McAfee around.

Watch it with some friends. It's absurd, enthralling and hilarious in many parts. If you appreciate debaucherous, self-indulgent narcissists and their follies, I say strap in. Drugs, booze, guns, corruption and the open sea. (They should have asked me to write a tagline for this one)

For those criticizing Netflix's ever-growing catalogue of bloated documentaries/docu-series; I hear you. They've been on a run for a while. Please keep in mind this is a one-off 1:40:00 doc and there are zero lulls within. You won't have to commit to three episodes of meandering fluff with no payoff. This one is a blast.

Confusing and messy, another in a string of Netflix documentaries lately that does not seem to have a theme, could have been so much better but just felt like a middle school project.

The basis for any decent documentary is that statements are checked and verified.

Well, this documentary does none of that. It just tells a story from one side in the hope that you believe it. Or at least to see what sticks to the wall. Because a lot of "facts" are thrown at the viewer that could have easily been checked with some authorities.

Why didn't they contact for instance the authorities of Belize to see what is true. Why wasn't the SEC or even the IRS asked for their opinion?! And since this is VICE - whom makes quite some documentaries on cartels - why didn't they also asked the Sinaloa cartel for their opinion.

What also would have been possible, is to have asked some security software experts to see what could have been true of McAfee's statements. How on earth could McAfee have keystroke software in computers of cartels, the U. S. government or the Belize government.

Is there not a mental illness that makes the patient believe that he is being observed and chased by the government?! So for all we know, McAfee was mentally ill?!

I find the documentary therefore a show of bad journalism. The content is though somewhat entertaining to watch. But I get the impression that is was watching more fiction than fact.

How incompetent can you be? Then to make matters worse, they spent the remainder of the time with these daf setup shots and B roll of people chopping wood or this and that - PALEESE - just admit that u don't have any relevant footage or worthwhile interviews and call it what it is - (I'll leave that up to yall)
