The Legend of Cocaine Island

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.

Think Milton from office space acting like a big time drug dealer. Andy is a real life Matthew McConaughey but way more annoying. It's just some guys telling a pipe-dream type story, and it gets better as it goes.

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.

Excellent documentary but when Carlos gives Rodney his card it has a phone number of 202-282-8000. If you dial it you will connect with Homeland Security. Great joke!!!

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.
