The Legend of Cocaine Island

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.

Netflix is going to end up responsible for inspiring a generation of drug dealers or criminal enterprises - but damn, these documentaries are as oddly addictive as the drugs they feature.

"The Legend of Cocaine Island" is in a similar vein to "Operation Odessa", though not quite as crazy and less charismatic. The main guy here (Rodney) just comes across as a somewhat unlikable, fat, greedy guy who pretends to be remorseful for his greed-fuelled actions. The supporting cast of characters is far more interesting - Andy and Dee in particular.

The doco keeps a good pace and it's certainly a larger-than-life story that is hard to look away from. Who doesn't love a good treasure hunt story? This time, the "treasure" just happens to be $2 million worth of cocaine. "The Legend of Cocaine Island" is as much an ode to the art of storytelling as it is a crime documentary - each person here knows how to spin a story.

How much of it is actually true - who knows? But it's entertaining nonetheless! The ambiguous ending was an intriguing way to wrap things up - and certain to boost "tourism" numbers in Puerto Rico.

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!!!

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.

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.
