    I just had moved to Tampa, FL, in 1977. I found this documentary fascinating AND appropriately adrenalin raising. This look at the drug cultures' dollars rebuild of Miami was such an 'of course' but i'd not realized the massive dimensions of it all. Right under our noses. And then Hollywood moved in. Now there's some kind of a cultural statement in that.

    An excellent documentary. Its strong statements makes it a hard to take movie for general audiences. A must see!

    The story is fascinating, if a little overlong.

    Traveling faster than a fat line of blow snorted from mirror to nose, Cocaine Cowboys is all rush and no crash.

    A rogues gallery of flamboyant gangsters paint an anecdote-rich portrait of the drug trade, while a steady stream of cops, coroners and crime reporters furnish social commentary.
