Critic Reviews of "Cocaine Cowboys"
Time OutNovember 22, 2007It's the sort of glamour-meets-violence drugs-crime story on which lads' mags thrive: unqualified, over-reverent and hysterical.
Detroit Free PressDecember 01, 2006The Jan Hammer music on the soundtrack works overtime to assure us that Cocaine Cowboys is the real, nastier version of Miami Vice
San Francisco ChronicleNovember 10, 2006This is an ugly film, but with an undeniable allure.
Houston ChronicleNovember 10, 2006Forget Scarface and Miami Vice. Cocaine Cowboys is the real deal -- a down-and-dirty look at the high living and illegal drugs that dominated south Florida in the 1980s.
Chicago Sun-TimesNovember 10, 2006This documentary on Miami's lethal '80s cocaine scene is cut fast.
Washington PostNovember 09, 2006At half the length it would have been twice as good, but nevertheless it stokes a nostalgia some may have for a magic period in Miami history when it was ever so briefly the American Casablanca.
ColeSmithey.comApril 24, 2009Documentarian Billy Corben's revealing film exposes the methods and players in South Florida's drug trade that literally built the city of Miami that we know today with billions of dollars in blood cash.
Washington City PaperMarch 06, 2008With a nearly two-hour running time that includes its share of blowhards, repetition, and cheesy attempts to heighten drama, Cocaine Cowboys brings to mind an unfortunate comparison: Miami Vice. The movie.
London Evening StandardNovember 23, 2007Grisly crime scene snaps accompany the story, which makes Miami Vice look like a tea party and Florida like hell on earth.
Times (UK)November 23, 2007The haystacks of cash and coke are laughably insane - as is the head-count: thousands of people were gunned to death. This is the only state in the world where Scarface might raise a smile.
Film4November 23, 2007At nearly two hours, Cocaine Cowboys (appropriately) doesn't know when to stop talking, but as a chronicle of a demented epoch, it's both entertaining and just about definitive.
Total FilmNovember 23, 2007Without narration, the doc has scant moral compass, its very title celebrating the machine gun-wielding mercenaries involved.
