Fresh & Entertaining 4.5 stars
Hey guys I have seen a lot of documentary's especially over the last couple years, and this was fascinating. Im always reluctant to watch a drug movie's because the topic has been hit to death -- but I can tell you this film is very fresh. Primarily following the money into the hands of the drug world the film climbs the latter to the top of the food chain and reveals the slippery tips along the way. (Might not be who you expected at the top) Details are told from both sides of the trade through a great cast of characters. Your gonna love Freeway Rick Ross and Brian O'Dea - 50 Cent and Eminem share some good details too.
Incase this helps you determine what kind of reviewer I am here are a list of other docs that I like and would recommend you see. (Senna, Searching for Sugar Man, Exit through the gift shop, Ai Wei Wei:Never Sorry, The Fog of War, Restrepo, The Cove, Cocaine Cowboys, Bully, and Man on Wire.)

Many doc directors have tried to make a "war on drugs" doc - but this is the only doc that actually accomplished its goals--in my opinion. "America" is not even close to being "free" - instead the government pretends to wear the badge of freedom while promoting and profiting from you doing "illegal" drugs as well as "legal drugs"--she tells you not to do them, and then hypocritically tells you to do them and promotes and profits from you doing so, whether from legally selling them to you, or profiting from you being jailed for them. America loves drugs, and loves drug money--and she should just come to terms with it and legalize them all as she's done alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals--instead of lying to itself and its people in the name of profit and control. Buy hey, profiting and controlling at any cost is the...
