People are voting emotionally.

One of my all time favorites.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

So this is a whole different take on what American Made gave us (the one with Tom Cruise as a pilot). Now we get on the ground (no pun intended) and see what happened to all the drugs that came flying into America (again no pun intended). Now morally speaking you may wonder if and who really are victims here (I'd say the ones that got hooked on the drugs), but we also have the ones dealing (with) them.One of them being Ricky Ross who is very prominently shown here, with some of his associates but also reporters and more people chipping in. Now if you are into Hip Hop the name Rick Ross is probably one that will ring a bell. It's a different person (duh!), but also one that according to the criminal/drug dealer Rick(y) Ross steal his name to get famous. But more on that in the movie itself (also the rappers quite weak explanation why he started using that artist name).It's not an easy watch, but it is enticing and interesting to see a man who made a lot of money and how he tries to make up for it now (cynical people may feel a bit distressed and nauseous about it) ...

It was very well directed and tells the story of what really went on in LA in the 1980s. I can see a film adaption happening some time in the future

A great documentary it was very nice to see how well that put it together in a way you can understand very great gem
