""Medellín... sumas y restas" (Medellín... Addictions and Substractions - 2004) takes you to the 80's, when drug cartels are in complete control of the city of Medellin and its population. The world of luxury, lust, and power seduce Santiago (Juan Carlos Uribe), a young engineer, as he ventures into the treacherous business of cocaine trafficking. Within a few weeks, Santiago becomes a wealthy and powerful man with the entire world at his feet. However, when he comes face-to-face with the true nature of the drug business, Santiago discovers he is trapped in a world of violence where loyalty is traded for money and the consequence of a mistake is death. Santiago soon finds out that in the extravagant world of cocaine, one loses perspective of what is gained and what is lost."

"The director has been criticized in the past for only showing the bad face of Colombian society. This movie is not the exception but it is a good mafia story!

The acting is amazing! What impress me the most is that as usual with Gaviria the actors are not professional actors but actual - real life people, many times acting their own life roles.



Great Movie!
