American Made

This tale of a daredevil pilot “Barry Seal" was enthralling to say the least.

As he said so many times during the movie, he tends to leap first before looking. Was that stupidity or courage? I would say in this instance, courage because the more you look or consider, you will lose your “liver” as we say on this side of the world.

This happy go lucky attitude took our protagonist from a commercial pilot to a gun runner for the CIA to a drug smuggler for the Medellín Cartel.

He was literally basking in money, so much that the song "mo’ money mo problems" by Biggie became a reality. He and the Medellin cartel became as they say "thick as thieves", but as we all know all good things come to an end especially when you run with the big wolves.

It was also interesting seeing the tie-ins between General Noriega, Pablo Escobar and Ronald Reagan.

A bit of a history lesson as it was based on a true story.
