Review of Cocaine Cowboys 2 (2008) by Craig B — 24 Aug 2010
[i]Cocaine Cowboys 2[/i] is Billy Corben's follow-up documentary film to his 2006 film about the 80's drug wars in Miami. This installation introduces us to Charles Cosby, a small-time hood who befriends "Godmother" Griselda Blanco.
Cosby makes bank by helping Blanco move her narcotics empire from Miami to Los Angeles. CC2 isn't as intriguing or as fast paced as its predecessor, nor is it as comprehensive. The film relies heavily on the stories and testimony of Cosby himself, so one's belief in the details is intrinsically tied to one's belief in the reliability of Cosby as a faithful narrator.
