Summary: Eye-opener! Thrilling real-life story of the beginning of Miami as we know it.
Comment: I had seen bits of pieces of this program on Showtime as was hooked. Ordered the DVD and watched it the whole way through- I couldn't even force myself to get up! We've all heard the stories of how coccaine used to flow through Miami in the 70s and 80s but never in my life had I even imagined just how much money was changing hands.
This real life story of the the Miami coccaine trade is just totally amazing. The amount of money, guns and drugs in Miami during the "cowboy" days was unimaginable. If I didn't know for a fact that this was based on a true story I'd think it was impossible. This is like the movie "Blow" without the fictional storyline...

Summary: GREAT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT COCAINE
Comment: THIS IS A MUST WATCH, ITS REALLY GOOD AND ENTERTAINING. IT'S A TRUE STORY IN HISTORY THAT DID AFFECT HOW LIFE IS TODAY. IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN AND NOW ITS ALL OUT IN THE OPEN FOR US TO WATCH. THE EDITING WAS GREAT! IT LEAVES YOU WANTING TO KNOW MORE AND MORE, YET VERY INFORMATIVE. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DRUGS AND WANT TO KNOW BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START)

Summary: Captivating and Entertaining
Comment: 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.

Summary: Cocaine Cowboys
Comment: It is a great documentary shows how Miami Beach became Miami Beach. Great gift idea for hubbies lady's
Customer Rating:
Summary: Money, Power and Drugs make for great entertainment
Comment: I caught this on Showtime a few weeks back and wow was it entertaining. More of a shockumentary then a documentary, most of the major players are interviewed and all of them tell a pretty compelling story about the cocaine trade of Miami. You could tell that these guys were proud of what they did and how they pulled it off. Not in a macho, arrogant type way but a calm and collective way that really makes it like you could talk to these guys as if they were just anyone else on the street. It did what it was supposed to do, not change the channel and keep you in your seats.

In the 1980s ruthless colombian cocaine barons invaded miami with a brand of violence unseen since prohibition-era chicago - and it put the city on the map. This is the true story of how miami became the drug murder & cash capital of the united states told by the people who made it happen.
