It’s astonishing what this man has been through. You can’t even capture it in a film and even if you could it would be a mix of the eponymous The Dogs of War (Film, 1980) and Lord of War (Film, 2005) ... David Tomkins was active as a mercenary in Angola, then became an international arms dealer and was paid to kill Escobar. I thought it was a gripping documentary that takes a fascinating look at the underworld of mercenaries... ultimately their motivation is nothing more than making money because they were basically too stupid to do anything else. Tomkins, a self-confessed criminal, has no regrets about his life (he has many lives on his conscience) and talks about it like a cool businessman.

Dave Tomkins earned a fortune over a period of more than 20 years, starting in the mid-1970s, as a mercenary and smuggler of weapons and drugs. Although he's in his 80s, he still yearns for the adventurous life and the adrenaline he felt in the perilous places where he earned his money. The captivating story of the unruly yet authentic Tomkins is marred by unnecessary and often clumsy reenactments featuring Christian Jenner as Tomkins.
