ashleyannkennedy Review of Operation Odessa

Operation Odessa (2018)

Great storytelling but missing some information

[7/10 · 4 April 2021]

I adored the larger-than-life personalities and the storytelling. Funny, entertaining, and unique. I would have appreciated a bit more info at the end, where the pacing feels a bit rushed. For example, how'd they all escape jail time in the US if there were 15,000 hours of wiretaps? Why did Tarzan conveniently ignore the spy cam and the free CIA phone? How did Tarzan escape penalty from the cartels and didn't he care about his family? I guess these details were left out because the truth would have made them seem a lot less cool... And we can't have that in the post-Sopranos era.
