Review of Cocaine Cowboys (2006) by Mjs M — 12 Apr 2008
Absolutely THE BEST documentary film I have ever seen in my life! Very well made, it is trully mind blowing.. It made you realize that everything that you knew all along was actually wrong.. Seriously, who would have thought that Pablo Escobar is nothing compare to the ruthless Godmother Griselda Blanco.. These people dissed Scarface because even Tony Montana is nothing compare to them.. If you thought that Joe Pesci is one mean S.O.B. in Goodfellas and all the mob movies put together, he's just a Sunday School picnic compare to Jorge "Rivi" Ayala.. Last but not least, if you thought the movie Blow was a crazy insight to Johnny Depp's character George Jung's world in the trade, then you ain't seen nothing yet! Wait until you get to know Jon Roberts and Mickey Munday in this compelling documentary. By the end of this film, me & my guy were still in shock.. We had to catch our breath because we still cannot believe what we had seen.
I also found out that they are now making a movie of the same title based on this documentary. Mark Wahlberg will play Jon Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio will play Mickey Munday. It may be out next year, but I bet it wouldn't be the same as seeing all the original footage.
If you have the DVD, be sure not to miss the extras menu.
By the end of it all, you might need a line or two.. Or maybe gram or two.. Hahahaha..
