Excellent piece. The scenario is simple yet entertaining, the setup is really basic but Sidney Poitier carries the movie from start to finish.
How come this kind of movie still exists in 2021? The scenario, the actors, the action scenes, the FX, nothing can save this movie. The special effects (gunfire, flames coming out of guns, blood, etc.) are so awfully done I thought a 10 year old kid did this. Anyway, it is a terrible movie so don't waste your time watching it.
Everyone has a story about the narcos nowadays. Operation Odessa follows the rule and tells us the story about drugs, luxury cars and everything that goes with it. The story might be true, it is hard to corroborate every detail but we can have some serious doubts by the way it is told. Mostly interviews and some photographic illustrations that look like they have been taken from Google Images. It is entertaining but is it really a documentary or just a movie?
