Emotionally moving

First off, I must confess that I haven't actually seen this film for about 7 or 8 years, but I remember being really moved by it. This film is one of those that you feel really deeply for the characters, and when the clincher comes, it is as though it is actually happening in your life and the emotion you feel is just overwhelming. A really gripping film. If you like your "true stories" (trying not to sound morbid), this is for you.

Enjoyable

I haven't seen this movie since if first came out. What made me think of it was seeing "Traffic" in which both Stephen Bauer and Benicio Del Torro also act. This mini series really stayed with me, the complexity of the problem and the human cost being very nicely, especially so for a TV produced drama. They are usually very poorly done--not this one. It's hard hitting enough to stay with you, it has for me for a decade. I would think there would be renewed interest in after the success of "Traffic", a film I didn't enjoy but has obtained obvious acclaim.

Original TV Series Is Brilliant.!! The DVD Version Sucks!!

This movie is brilliant- at least the way I saw it. NBC aired this movie on TV. It was 6hours and it ran over the course of 3 days. At the end of each part NBC reporter Tom Brokaw did a behind the scenes special talking to reporter Elaine Shannon who covered the story to the actual DEA agents portrayed in the movie to even showing Rafa Caro-Quintero's luxury prison cell.

I am so glad I taped it when it aired. The DVD is awful; so many and I mean many, many scenes, vital scenes are taken out. If I watched the DVD without watching the original TV movie I would have had so many questions. One would think the DVD would have all the extras and bonus features.

The complete affect of how drugs affect our lives.

Living so close to the border of Mexico, I saw that this film did an excellent job in demonstrating how corrupt the Mexican government really is. I highly recommend this film and really wish the full mini series would be released. It is very educational for today's youth.

Full of awe for how awful this was.

Poor coverage, poorly edited, poorly written = bad film

This mini-series was disgraceful. Not only is the script bad, but the production value terrible and the acting, for the most part, poor. I found it shocking that this would come out on DVD - clearly an attempt to capitalize on Traffic.

I began watching before I realized it was a Net (NBC) mini-series, and thought it must have been produced mega low-budget by a Mexican TV chain - it was done in such a latino soap-opera style.

Awful.

Anecdotes
Ten years after appearing in this mini-series, Steven Bauer, Benicio Del Toro, Miguel Ferrer, Eddie Velez, and Tomas Milian reunited in the similar themed movie Traffic (2000).

Versions alternatives
The show originally aired as three episodes, running a total of 257 minutes sans commercial. For its VHS release, it was edited down to a single 130-minute feature. Thie edit was not endorsed by executive producer Michael Mann, and is notoriously bad, omitting whole characters and connective events, and leaving a threadbare story void of any narrative substance. In 2003, when Lions Gate released the show on DVD in North America, the 130-minute version was used, and it is now the most widely available version. The original 257-minute version divided up into its original three episodes, however, is available on DVD (albeit hard to find); it was released in Scandanavia by a now-defunct Finnish company called Atlantic Film.
