ZachMilich John McAfee is someone I never really gave a damn about. The only way I knew of his name before is documentary is because of his AntiVirus company. About half the way through this film it became abundantly clear from any objective standard, this was a hit piece. There are very serious allegations made in this documentary that don't get any push back whatsoever, not even something as simple as "McAfee denies the allegations" or "these allegations are so far unfounded". This film is well shot & edited, and that is where my praise for it ends. After watching the film I did some searching online and it turns out that the producer of the film is the same man who seems to have spent a large chunk of his career trying to defame & attack McAfee for his politics. Finding that out in addition to merely watching the movie and the way it very clearly tries to portray McAfee is a man of pure evil rather than being objective, that was enough to convince me that this is a documentary designed to ruin the life of a man.
greg-14761 Just by watching the documentary, you will realize which sentences were said for money (paid lies) or out of anger/revenge. I cannot recommend this movie if you are looking for facts. If however, you want to see how this world slowly degrades by making fictional documentaries like this, in order to achieve "something"... be my guest.
kellymsibillia Incredibly brave Nanette. Brilliant. He does not respresent decent Americans and we as Americans should send him back to answer for what he is accused. When someone kills on our soil we want other countries to honor our extradition. HE KILLED AN AMERICAN as well a LOCAL MAN. Just thank you god there was no sex tape! You will understand once you watch this.
Daniel Semenov In a nutshell, the documentary is mostly about the less known years of John McAfee during his stay in Belize. Thou some might say that the coverage in this documentary is mostly biased and intentionally created to show McAfee's shenanigans, I would highly recommend to keep a few things in mind before watching it: 1. McAfee sold his cyber security company before moving to Belize to Intel, which used his anti-virus with his last name during the whole period, until today. The company worth nowadays half of the price McAfee sold it, and its price got lower with every bad press coverage during the years of McAfee in Belize. Additionally, McAfee started a new cyber security start-up right after he got back to US. 2. During the last elections, McAfee was leading contender of the Libertarian Party. His political intentions are clear and may seem in his way of living during his days in Belize.This Documentary is HIS MAGNUM OPUS, it's his door opener to a movie starring Johnny Depp about his life - and later on, his political career. a must watch documentary in my point of view.
