The Hunt for Escobar's Hippos Trailers

Notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s brutal regime ended in a hail of bullets. In Escobar’s infamous reign of terror, he smuggled four hippos into Colombia to join his growing collection of exotic animals at his $63 million estate outside Medellin. Left to fend for themselves in the wake of his death, these extremely dangerous beasts – responsible for more deaths in Africa than lions or crocodiles – broke out. Today, breeding at twice their typical rate and with no natural predators keeping them in check, more than 60 roam the Colombian wilds, wreaking havoc in villages at night and threatening the ecosystem that feeds into the Magdalena River, Colombia’s main watershed.

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
