    Just watched ‘Facing El Chapo’ (2026) on Netflix recommended by my colleague at work. Based on a true story. A mexican film regarding the recapture of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman. Also worth watching for Alfonso Herrera. @netflix.com #Netflix #FacingElChapo #AlfonsoHerrera #FilmRecommendation

    17 min in, and La Captura (Facing El Chapo) is a good action movie, consider that zero action sequences have ocurred. You can see and sense something bad is going to happen. Its dialogues are great too

    Facing El Chapo was the film & I wouldn't bother if I were you. It's dubbed, but they leave the swearing in Spanish so you have to use your phone to work that bit out - so interactive. www.imdb.com/title/tt3939...

    #FacingElChapo Facing El Chapo is a movie on Netflix, worth a watch, but it feels more like a low budget tv movie than a major movie. Great story, movie is about a 4.5 but worth a watch if you are interested in the subject matter. Those guys had major stones to bring him in
