Rodney Hyden in La légende de Cocaine Island (2018)

Rodney Hyden is an American dreamer: a small business owner and family man from Central Florida. But after he's wiped out by the Great Recession, Rodney hears a story that could be his ticket out of his mounting debt: a tale of a map, an island and buried treasure. Fueled by a combination of economic desperation and blissful ignorance, Rodney hatches a plan to retrieve a possibly mythical $2 million stash of cocaine from its reported Caribbean hiding place. With the help of a colorful group of misfits-and without prior drug-running experience-Rodney sets out in pursuit of his very own American dream, with surprising results.

Excellent editing and production value.

As an editor, I really appreciated the storytelling in this documentary. As soon as I met these characters, and the believability of their wild tale, I was hooked. Once his narrative is set, it's up to the editor to keep the story moving with clever transitions and here, Theo was brilliant, not just as the editor, but as the producer/director. He provided himself with plenty of coverage in the way of cinematic material, graphics, and a not-what-I-expected selection of music to keep you on the edge and propel the movie. This is an enjoyable doc that doesn't take itself too seriously. The filmmakers had a lot of fun with it and so did I.

American Supidification

You have got to be the biggest, dumbest, gullible idiot, or be this guy, to ever do something so idiotic. It's a movie about a Dope, a Doper, and a hard criminal. How could it not be true, simple minds with simple goals doing a stupid act. And the wife comes off as a spoiled buffoon who clearly doesn't get reality, as other viewers suggest.

Feels like a story your uncle would tell you.

In other words, overly dramatic for what it actually was. Too much fluff as well. If they had cut the wife out of the story it would be an 8 instead of a 7. Nobody wants to listen to a spoiled woman cry about suddenly having a smaller house.

If you can make it past the first 20 minutes it's worth finishing though.

Extremely entertaining

I was glued to the screen the entire time. All of the people (except the wife) were very likable and entertaining. The movie was very lighthearted and fun.

I didn't once get bored and pick up my phone, which is pretty much the highest praise that I can give a movie these days.

Documentary Wow or Documentary Now?

So after watching this entire story,I still not sure if it is a spoof or just an insane story told documentary comedy style.I mean come on nothing is this crazy but then I follow the saga of The Florida Man so yes it could be true.The filming and locations are almost movie-like and it has some great plots turns.After watching the entire thing I feel like digging though the internet to see if it's a real story or not.But I am going to rewatch it to see if I can pick up any giveaways.This is probably the 1st Documentary film that absolutely can not be redone or spoofed by Documentary Now!If you enjoy that series watch this,it isn't a serious story telling news piece,how could it be because if it's true nobody would believe it anyway.
