I live very far away from the American hemisphere, I dunno much about the politics involved with the Wasp Network and my knowledge on the historical accuracy of the incident shown is virtually zero. As a movie fan of military and espionage trillers, I found Wasp Network very neat, engaging and in fact thrilling at places. In fact knowing nothing about the incident prior actually worked in my favour, in terms of enjoying this spy flick.

Cinematography was good overall, especially the Ariel photography involving multiple aircraft. Screenplay was very good too, though it had lot of choppy cuts in the middle affecting the smoothness of the story's flow. Direction, music and makeup were all par. Considering the budget of Wasp Network, Production design and costumes were excellent. Though the movie boasted some big names among the cast like Wagner Moura and Penolope Cruz, acting in general was good, with nothing exceptional.

Overall, sans any knowledge about the incident involved in the movie, I enjoyed the movie. It was very engaging throughout and in fact gripping at some places. I would definitely recommend this movie to action movie fans around the world, for a wonderful Sunday afternoon watch. Wasp Network is definitely one of the better Netflix Original movies, in a series of recent duds. 6.9 stars out of 10 for Wasp Network's ability to spring surprises.

Way better than it's current rating of 5.8 would indicate imo. With a great cast ( how can you go wrong with Penny Cruz, Ana de Armis and Wagner Moura ?!) and interesting storyline it's a cross between Narcos and Syriana with better landscape.

Really watchable even though it hops around a bit in timelines and highlights the duplicity of both the Castro and US governments.

Olivier Assayas' 'Wasp Network' had the opportunity for substantial dramatic material with its fascinating based-on-a-true-story plot and a star-studded cast. Unfortunately, the story is so jam-packed with various narratives and characters it becomes convoluted, confusing, and tiring to watch. Quite a mess.
