Summary: Cocaine Cowboys 2
Comment: Fascinating detail of the Godmother's criminal and personal actions throughout the 80's and 90's. The only thing missing was a live shot of her after her deportation from the US. Would love to see how she's living now. Exceptional footage of Dade County during the days of the Cocaine Cowboys - wonderful documentary.

Summary: Better than the first
Comment: A Great true story. I have watched this movie over and over. Everyone who watches it has their eyes glued to the screen. It's the only sequel I saw that you didn't have to see the first one to follow part 2.The godmother is the real scarface. I liked how the movie showed her dangerous cut throat side. As well as her softer side, how she loved her children and charles cosby. This is the best documentary I have ever seen. I liked the music in the movie especially the theme song real scarface by ncredable. I hope they make a video for it that would be cool! I found the whole song at myspace.com/ncredable

Summary: Gripping + Animation re-enactments make it more visually understandable = LIFE is STRANGER than FICTION.
Comment: It contains a lot of strange and riveting revelations. For example, it showed how the actions of the two secretaries helped Charles Cosby escape prosecution for drug trafficking. It's like the stuff from a Best Selling Novel. I could never have thought of it!
There must be some exaggeration of course. It's because most of the movie was based on interviews with drug dealers. There's no way to verify most of their claims. However, that does not reduce the entertaining value of the film.
This is the first documentation I watched that used animation for scenes that are difficult to be re-enacted. That helped tremendously.
No wonder some people want to sell drugs. They can become millionaire in a very short time. LIFE is indeed STRANGER than FICTION.

Summary: DEEP!
Comment: This time we got to know the "godmother" up close and personal, if hollywood slept on the first installment i guranntee they'll jump on this one(if the bootleggers dont beat'um to the punch) But solid story line front to back. I must say "godmother" was indeed a very complex individual

Summary: Cocaine Cowboys 2
Comment: I enjoyed the movie alot. If you were a fan of the first movie you would like it very much. I thought that they could have had more interveiws with different people to give it a different perspective, but the movie was still enjoyable and picked up well from where the first movie left off.

Charles Cosby's life is changed forever when he writes a fan letter to the "Cocaine Godmother" Griselda Blanco, who is serving time in a federal prison. Six months later, Cosby is a multi-millionaire, Blanco's lover, and the head of her $40 million a year cocaine business. Also known as "The Black Widow" for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she's done with them, Blanco stops at nothing to ensure that Charles is faithful. Cosby soon learns he's in way over his head.
