7/10
Kept me engaged
27 December 2021
  • There's some silly editing choices
  • I think while it's good not to shy away from the violence, there may have been a tad too many crime scene photos, to the point where it could be seen as exploitative
  • and for some of the runtime, there's a slight uneasy feeling as to how these events are made quite entertaining...


...but in the end, I think it worked, and came together well. The last 10-15 minutes that serves as an epilogue and details how the 70s/80s drug business changed Miami was eye opening and very interesting.

And some of those dated editing choices aside, this is tremendously engaging, with a fast pace and many fascinating stories/individuals worked into its runtime.

A few flaws hold it back, but this arguably almost reaches the upper tier of crime-related documentaries.
