This is a well made documentary. The story is interesting and the storytellers engage you from the beginning. This film gives you a look inside a world rarely seen with unprecedented access to the filmmakers. Having a British man and a Peruvian man as the two main filmmakers but deciding to have the Peruvian narrate is a mistake in my opinion. His English is decent but it's obviously not his mother tongue. I think having the Englishman narrate in a film presented in English would have just been commonsense.

It's not Searching for Sugarman or Man on Wire. It is an interesting story but it doesn't pay off in the end.

Pulled on my interest given my early years knowledge of the Mafia.
