Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami

I love anything BC usually does but this could be one drug story too many.

Nowhere near as interesting as the original Cocaine Cowboys documentary's and the characters are a bit dull.

When I heard that Billy Corbin was making another Cocaine Cowboys documentary I was over the moon, but it ultimately fell way short of his previous work. I don't necessarily think it's his fault, but it's on for too long. The first Cocaine Cowboys was exceptional, but this isn't near the standard set by that. It's still a decent watch, but don't go in thinking you're gonna hear from a Micky Munday or Jon Roberts kinda raconteur. It's just nowhere near that standard.

Typical glorification of criminals "documentary". Show them in their fancy cars, with their pretty ladies, living in big houses, with their fake smiles and expensive lawyers. It really pays off being a criminal. This is the message the documentary seems to portray. None of the dark sides are shown. It's a very skewed documentary in favor of the criminals. The law enforcers they interview are portrayed as silly and whiney. Whilst the criminals are enjoying the interviews and laughing and pretending this is all been great fun. Great fun indeed all those countless murders that have been committed for their businesses to run properly. Great fun indeed that so many lives have been destroyed by their actions.

I enjoyed it. One thing I found strange was the woman Marilyn Bonichea who was interviewed extensively. She seemed to really relish the attention and found the most inappropriate things funny. What an oddball.

Good archive footage and story but I don't like how the narration is done by the people being interviewed.

Also i've never skipped an intro on Netflix as quickly in my life as I do with the theme song to Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami.
