Director Luis Ara beautifully balances the talking heads who celebrate Higuita's influence while using historical footage and in-depth, honest commentary from Higuita himself about the more controversial aspects of his life.

Rated: 4/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Higuita: The Way of the Scorpion brings Colombia’s cult hero back to the limelight. This isn’t an autobiography of his life. It’s a greatest hit of one of that country’s greats.

Rated: 8/10

EIN TORWART MIT ÜBER 40 TOREN Wir bekommen die Anfänge des Torwarts zu sehen, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war. Wenn man die WM 1990 ansieht, gerade die Zusammenfassung gegen Deutschland, sieht man das heutige moderne Torwartspiel. Dazu gibt es noch etwas Pablo Escobar Berichte, weil Kolumbien da gehört das mit dazu.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This soccer documentary was really good. The entire crew did a fantastic job on making this amazing story of the legendary goalkeeper Rene Higuita. It'll show the viewers how great of a goalkeeper and player he was. In addition, you'll get an insight of his bravery and heroism as well. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. Even if you're not a soccer fan, you should watch this.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
