Mysteries abound in the life of John McAfee. He made millions creating antivirus software, then reinvented himself as a yogi, a proponent of herbal medicine, and a serial entrepreneur. He was known for his charm and generosity. Then his life took another turn. He moved from the US to Belize and built a heavily armed compound in the jungle, like a modern day Heart of Darkness. McAfee never shied away from media attention and boasted of his libertine lifestyle, maintaining a harem of young women. In 2012 his neighbour in Belize, an American named Gregory Faull, was found murdered by a gunshot. Sought for questioning by local authorities, McAfee fled to Guatemala, then returned to the US where he pursued the Libertarian Party nomination for President in 2016. Over the years, journalists have told pieces of McAfee's story (including the infamous Vice report accidentally revealing his secret location). Here the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Nanette Burstein delivers a deep investigation that sheds new light on the shadows around the 70-year-old mogul. McAfee refuses her requests for an interview, but continues a strange cat-and-mouse email correspondence for months. In Belize, Burstein conducts revelatory new interviews with McAfee's former associates, uncovering his bizarre behaviour with women, local gangsters, and guns. She probes into the investigation of the unsolved murder of Faull, and learns of other allegations against McAfee for crimes that were never prosecuted. Paranoia runs high on all sides of this story, but Burstein never backs down in pursuing answers.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzChilling documentary on the American software anti-virus guru, John McAfee. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawHis story is a very enlightening and important one; Burstein tells it well. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandViewers can form their own conclusions about McAfee's alleged connection to Faull's murder, the death of David Middleton and other aspects of his life. Burstein convincingly makes her case. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillAn unsettling story of madness, murder, and media manipulation. |
| User ReviewJoey MStayed up till 4am watching this. Great Doc |
| User ReviewMark JThis is a tremendous documentary. It's principled (meaning that the facts are equally presented, on both sides). You're let with the firm impression that Bernstein is searching for a balance of truth. An antidote to what's generally standard practice for documentary filmmaking. Looking at the other reviews, I think some people are frustrated looking for a one-sided story. I think that it's to the filmmakers credit that she didn't do this, given she had a lot of ammunition. Nevertheless, They are very serious implications and accusations, made by interviewees, against McAffee in this film. Some, based on the evidence, it's hard to deny. On the other hand, for anyone with any experience of life, there is a lot of evidence of a man who is. deeply conflicted, and is capable of acts of tremendous generosity and love. Heart of Darkness which is at one point presciently referenced by McAffee himself in the film, is a useable reference here. A story about a man "spoiled" by his fascinating life, going from an abused childhood to "king of Belize". The filmmaker has done her research. And this is a must-watch for those seeking any insight into human nature. Whilst it's an obviously an incomplete story, because no documentary can ever be complete, and maybe the Fulstow re will emerge later, it's a tremendous piece of work. |
| User ReviewMark MA great 'life is stranger than fiction' story of one of modern history's colourful characters. |
| User ReviewDavid BNever mind the murder investigation, when John was living in Belize he was getting the Belize girls to shit in his mouth during sex, he's a scat man scibadibbadibbbobbopp nack. This doc wortha watch alright. |
| User ReviewKenneth LIts this movie that makes me wonder what Donald Trump is sniffeling about. Money is power. All power corrupts. This guy was " living the perfect fantasy of the ugly American. Living large in a poor vilage." But like many mega millionaires & billionaires he can skate over any & alll accountability if he just flashes the right green in the right scene to the right world of fellow mean men. |
| User ReviewIan TAmazing story. Someone should take the drone cam off the director. |
