alwaysbecohen So much fun. These guys are nuts and I love them...minus the killing and selling drugs and all.
ahsmithers If you like things like cocaine cowboys you will love this
Ghenghy The most incredible documentary I have ever seen. Tells the amazing story of a Miami-Cali Cartel-Moscow connection and the purchase of Russian military helicopters for sale to the the Cartel. Eventually leading to a brokered deal by these shady Miami figures and a Cuban Secret Service agent with 40 passports of a Russian nuclear sub to the drug lords. There's an amazing twist at the end of this story involving the most ballsy double-cross anyone could imagine but I won't give that away.Told by the original players from Miami and DEA and FBI agents, missing from the testimony are Cartel members who are MIA for obvious reasons. The main characters are all unique personalities that had me laughing from the first interview. Especially entertaining was the Cuban spy who if he wasn't in hiding would make a great stand up comedian, or the next James Bond. Documentaries are not normally entertaining, but this one had me in stitches until the end. Highly recommended.
ciprianpopica I was expecting to enjoy it as I live in Miami and the story was Miami based as well. What I didn't expect and I appreciated the most, was the comedy part of the film.... the way the story was presented, well documented, the cinematography as well.... absolutely brilliant. This is the kind of documentary will make you hate only one thing.... the fact that it ends at some point.
