worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (27 July 2006)

**CONTAINS SPOILERS** this is probably the worst movie i have ever seen. i was forced to watch it for a class. the filmmakers try to get the audience to sympathize with George Jung, feel sorry for him. I don't feel sorry for him at all. They don't show the death and destruction that results from the cocaine trade. A man who brought in so much cocaine caused a lot of problems. The worst is when they try to make you feel sorry for him when his money in the bank gets nationalized by the government of Panama. We are supposed to feel bad that some rich gringo drug dealer gets his drug money confiscated by a country that has been screwed by colonialism and gringo imperialism? I think they should have taken ALL of his money, thrown him in jail and thrown away the key. Maybe let him out after 50 years to let him work on farm in the country. Or let him work as a gravedigger for all the people who get killed in the cocaine trade. The directing is horrible in this film, some scenes drag on FOREVER, you know exactly what is going to happen next, what is going to be said. So predictable, contrived, and sappy. and BORING.
