Wasp Network

Olivier Assayas' 'Wasp Network' had the opportunity for substantial dramatic material with its fascinating based-on-a-true-story plot and a star-studded cast. Unfortunately, the story is so jam-packed with various narratives and characters it becomes convoluted, confusing, and tiring to watch. Quite a mess.

Many people here gave this movie a bad review because they don´t agre with it´s political views. I think that´s dumb. The movie is bad because it´s BORING and it doesn´t care about what it´s telling. Not because it might be historically innacurate or not being anti-castro enough!

BTW, Lots of hollywood movies despict historical events wrong or tergiversed but nobody seems to care this much, usually because they like that version more. They only care about the "agenda" in a movie when it´s different from their own, not when there is one.

After reading a lot of reviews I didn't expect this film would offer much. It was a bit confusing and disjointed but I enjoyed exploring the context of the film and really enjoyed the story of Rene and his family.

I had a great time watching this movie. It is always good to hear the other side of political stories. Yes, there's always another side. So, the movie is entertaining for sure. Every bad (one star) review here is simply politically biased. It is just people that can't stand Cuba's point of view. My advise is that you should watch and judge it by yourself. It's not supposed to be a documentary, but it is an incredible story based on real facts and real people. Have fun.

Way better than it's current rating of 5.8 would indicate imo. With a great cast ( how can you go wrong with Penny Cruz, Ana de Armis and Wagner Moura ?!) and interesting storyline it's a cross between Narcos and Syriana with better landscape.

Really watchable even though it hops around a bit in timelines and highlights the duplicity of both the Castro and US governments.
