Reviews

georgevlahakis A complete mess of a film. Poor acting from everyone involved. No direction. No vision. A waste of a very interesting story and person.

Ed-Shullivan The real Cocaine Grandmother, Griselda Blanco was known for executing literally hundreds of men, women, and even children who either interfered with her drug smuggling empire, or who simply pissed her off. In reality, being remotely involved with Griselda Blanco and her drug cartel empire was enough of a reason for considering a person to already have one foot in the grave including her sons and various husbands.This loosely based biography has the attractive Catherine Zeta-Jones attempting rather poorly to represent Griselda Blanco as the bi-sexual mother and wife as well as the vicious and extremely homely real-life cocaine grandmother. What results is a less than inspiring attempt at a high level historical adaptation of the cocaine grandmother, her sons, husbands, and lovers outwitting the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agents) for decades all rolled up in a two (2) hour film I would call a non event, worthy of only a mediocre 5 out of 10 rating.

yubiloko I think catherine zeta jones is a good actrice she was good in mask of zorro , i think that guillermo navarro should of watch the 2 cocaine cowboys documentary to be accurate ,, i guess a nice try , but to be accurate you need a real colombiana even the movie colombiana wasnt a colombiana , actress theres so many who could do griselda perfect ,her life was very rough i wish they would of showed more about her mother relationship and the kidnapping of the colombian kid , when she escaped from her mother , the only positive icould say about this movie the colombian accent wore ok not great like narcos , i guess the next movie sould be better its a start , she was the scarface version of a woman ,

crowjake-07362 Any movie made about GB is risky. About all I can say is that if you're not from Medellin, Colombia you will never capture the flavor of its people, good or bad. Likewise there are many untruths in the movie, Alberto Bravo was not killed for infidelity nor that way. And La Madre never worked for Pablo Escobar. He actually muscled in on HER territory. At lease give her her infamous credit where it is due.
