Cocaine Godmother

This is insanely bad writing, acting, directing, editing, make-up, set design, cinematography. This looks like a "cool movie" some film school drop-out wanted to do with no budget, but no heart either, meaning the intent is more to shoot "cool scenes" instead of telling a story.

And, the Canadian acting.. oh my.. so atrocious. The sad thing is the bad actors don't know and will never know how bad they are. And, the audacity that some directors believe they can make any person a good actor.

What the hell is with the inconsistent narration? Why does it even exist?

Don't watch this film unless you want a step by step lesson in what not to do in every aspect of a film.

This is a poorly shot and produced movie. Almost shocking to see CZJ in a movie as low class as this one. Do not pay to see it!

The real Cocaine Grandmother, Griselda Blanco was known for executing literally hundreds of men, women, and even children who either interfered with her drug smuggling empire, or who simply pissed her off. In reality, being remotely involved with Griselda Blanco and her drug cartel empire was enough of a reason for considering a person to already have one foot in the grave including her sons and various husbands.

This loosely based biography has the attractive Catherine Zeta-Jones attempting rather poorly to represent Griselda Blanco as the bi-sexual mother and wife as well as the vicious and extremely homely real-life cocaine grandmother. What results is a less than inspiring attempt at a high level historical adaptation of the cocaine grandmother, her sons, husbands, and lovers outwitting the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agents) for decades all rolled up in a two (2) hour film I would call a non event, worthy of only a mediocre 5 out of 10 rating.

There's absolutely nothing right about this film. The editing is so bad it should have never being approved. The performances from the cast are sub-par to say the least. Photography is OK but suffers with the horrible editing.

Well this was a slow low budget tv-production with one ''super star '' actor,trying to tell the story about griselda, which i would say was the most infamous drug queen-pin of all in american history.

i would instead in this review recommend the high octan documentaries COCAINE COWBOYS 1 AND 2 ,that gives a very in depth look,from the insiders driving this era of drug history.here you will also find a thouroghly told story about griselda,and what mighty powers and horrors she spread around the united states.

the acting in this film are at b/c-level,even zeta made a poor job on this set. it is a biographical film,but the presentation and pace are very slow. overall a dissapointment.
