well-done film with terrific acting from Johnny Depp

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2001)

I just saw this movie 2 days ago and it still remains fresh in my mind. The movie details an american who become involved smuggling cocaine from Colombia to the United States during the late 1970' and the early 1980's. However, the movie starts when George Jung is a young boy and ends with a current picture of him from prison. I thought the film did a nice job advancing through time. I also enjoyed the little tidbits of spanish in the film since I speak spanish.
