    Like listening to a drunk in a pub

    Over an hour of some guy telling you stories that sound ridiculous.

    Misleading title

    If the point of this documentary was to portray the lives of the mercenaries involved, it would have been a decent film. I've gained a deeper understanding of what it means to be a mercenary, but when it came to the point of the film, I realized that there were no bottom line to be found here.

    Pablo Escobar is just a footnote in this documentary, making it kinda pointless to watch. Most of the film is about how the mercenaries got into their profession, while the assassination "attempt" is saved for last.

    Dreadful

    I can't believe I just wasted an hour and a half watching this drivel.

    Pointless

    One of the most pointless things made. People hired for what could have been an awesome mission but instead a mission that never happened and certainly didn't deserve a 90 min feature.

    So They Didn't Kill Him Then ?

    I have known two old friends, sadly now both deceased, who guarded Rudolf Hess in Spandau Prison ! Their stories were far more riveting than this drivel !
