A Compelling Study in Kingpin Life
A very interesting dip into the world of a real life Kingpin. The history is amazing, the story demonstrates Virgil Fairley's determination to be one of the 'haves' in life, however misdirected. Obviously, Fairley had an amazing business sense and the guts to get to the top in the game of prostitution and drugs. The ups and downs are incredible. The story is very compelling. An interesting study of business success!
In terms of filmmaking - a low budget production. And a very decent use of production resources, a good thru line of story, a very good indie film. My only complaint: the sounds levels of the soundtrack buried, at times, the dialog. So I did struggle to literally hear some of the folks interviewed.
Overall, a very worthy watch.
