Cocaine Cowboys

  • Details: US / 116mins (TBC).

PREVIEW




Any fans of Al Pacino's Tony Montana should check out Cocaine Cowboys, a documentary that, well, documents the influx of ruthless Colombian cocaine barons into Miami in the '70s and early '80s, turning it into the cocaine capital of America. Using violence and murder on a scale not seen since prohibition-era America, Cocaine Boys, which encompasses all angles of the drug trade (from the dealers themselves to the cops giving chase), promises to be as ruthless as its subject matter.
