Movie Reviews of Cocaine Cowboys

Movie Review: Good stuff
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good documentary. I live in miami, so it was cool to see how much this city has changed. By the time i got here in 1990 the cocaine cowboy thing was over. So i did not know too much about this. It crazy to know there were shootouts in malls ive been going to since i was younger, like dadeland mall which looks very different now and the mall of the americas (pan american mall in the early 80's). Overall this was entertaining even at 2 hours it doesnt bore you. i recommend it especially if you live in miami.

Movie Review: Perfect Documentary About Miami
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is great because it makes you think about Miami in a different light. I had no idea how the city was actually built. And for all it's horrors, did something good come out of the cocaine trade in the 70's and 80's? This is a fast paced film that really does a good job of explaining the history of Miami. The people in this film are letting you in on secrets. It does glorify the drug trade to an extent which is why I gave it only 4 stars, but it is done very well and keeps you interested from start to end.

Movie Review: Oh my God the money!
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie almost makes the case for legalization. Can you imagine making $1.2 million for one trip? I'm still blown away by the amount of money these guys earned. On the other hand, the violence that accompanies the money is scary. In the end, Miami, like Hong Kong, prospered by satisfying the needs of the middle class, the impact of which can still be seen. On another note, the people involved, celebrities, doctors, lawyers and politicians is unbelievable.

Movie Review: Captivating and Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't usually get too wowed by documentaries, but this one is really well done. No matter what your political views are on illegal drugs this story of how the culture and infrastructure of an entire city were transformed by drug trade over a 2 decade period is fascinating. An added bonus is the musical score by Jan Hammer--so aptly matched to the theme and tenor of this movie.

Movie Review: Review of Cocaine Cowboys
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very interesting documentory that focusses on the cocaine culture in Miami in the 1980's. It mainly consists of interviews of the actual people involved. I highly recomend it to any one who is interested in this topic. I really enjoyed it the real people are better than fiction.
