Superb movie, just goes to show that, often time, truth really is stranger than fiction. Based on a true story, this movie shows the rise and fall of one of the greatest cocaine traffickers in history. Johnny Depp was absolutely great, as was Penelope Cruz. (Kudos to Cruz for genuinely making you despise her character.) Although the movie is a bit dated, the story never will be, and truth be told, I absolutely loved seeing the old 60's and 70's clothes, cars, furnishings, etc. Can't say you'd ever want to watch this more than once but it's absolutely worth seeing at least once. Surprised to see that it didn't get really high marks...but not that surprised, since it exposed Hollywood as the drug-snorting above-the-law idiots they really are.
