An absolute cinematic disaster.

A gritty chronicle of the war against Colombia's infamously violent and powerful drug cartels.

Narcos: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Narcos should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

@POPCORN_CRITIC2025-12-21 02:00 UTC

The script for Narcos feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Narcos.

The cinematography in Narcos is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Narcos. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Narcos actually is?

Everyone praising the Narcos performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Narcos is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched Narcos last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
