The script for El Señor de los Cielos feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.
“Script was written in ketchup.”

An absolute cinematic disaster.
Set in the 1990s, these are the life and times of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, a man who became the head of the Juárez cartel. Nicknamed “El Señor de los Cielos” (Lord of the Skies) because of the large fleet of airplanes he used to transport drugs, he was also known for washing more than $200 million through Colombia to finance his huge fleet. He is described as the most powerful drug trafficker of his time.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in El Señor de los Cielos?
Director clearly thought El Señor de los Cielos was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in El Señor de los Cielos is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of El Señor de los Cielos and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: El Señor de los Cielos is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, El Señor de los Cielos would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
