All those banks suddenly everywhere.. and faster counting machines 
Reasonable documentary with a lot of information and authentic images. A lot, and at a fast pace, what a bizarre time there, where everything was possible and allowed. It's a shame I already knew a thing or two through Discovery Channel drug programs etc., especially about Griselda Blanco, and I always find it irritating how (ex-)criminals talk about themselves and their success (leave that to others).

Good documentary about the heyday of cocaine smuggling in Miami. Interesting and certainly entertaining because of the fast pace. The numbers speak volumes here (money, pounds and murders). A lot of archive material and also the people directly involved are given the floor. Perhaps a little too sensational for 4.0 stars.
