Cocaine Cowboys shows us the invasion of the Colombian drugs cartel in Miami. Transforming the scene with all their violence and different tactics. The story is told by the people that lived it and have or might still be paying their dues. They tell us how they changed Miami into the drugs and murder capital of the US. | ||||||||

Drug money, if this is a fascinating subject to you, there's no question you will like this documentary. In some ways, the story is brought in a pop cultural way, in the atmosphere of the 80's Miami. But the movie never judges. And doesn't give an opinion about the man that almost grinningly tells us how he used to cap people -- now living his glorious life in prison.
The director gives a real impression of what these times must have been like. Showing how a big part of Miami's skyline was build with drug money. And with much success, since he is getting ready to release his next film: Cocaine Cowboys II. | ||||||||
