Sorry for the OT, but in trying to find out more about the origins of Narcos, I found out it's directed by José Padilha. No wonder it's good. His Bus 174 was one of the films that most shook me.

Never watched Bus 174, but my first experience with Padilha's work was "Elite Squad" [0], which coincidentally, I watched via Netflix's DVD rental service. And less coincidentally, had the same lead (Wagner Moura) as "Narcos".

Oh, I didn't remember the lead. I liked Elite Squad, but it emphasized more the "action movie" and less the "harrowing portrayal of a real social quagmire". Then again, Bus 174 is a documentary, even if it has plenty of tension, so that's to be expected.
