    Yes it is long, but it was a TV miniseries of a true event. That being said, the acting is excellent, and it is an eye opening movie about how little DEA agents are given to do their jobs or even protect themselves. There is a huge contrast between the wealth and freedom of the drug lords, versus the underpaid and often un armed agents trying to stop them without government help. Also, it's a role Benicio del Toro does so well, it's what I think of each time I see him in a new film. You'll get caught up in this horrible telling of the capture and hiding of a US DEA agent and the money, politics and our own governments' delay in finding him while his fellow agents go around the rules to try and get their friend.

    This was a well acted movie. I really found it enjoyable, though frustrating in spots. Towards the end it dragged a little, but all in all it was very good. It kind of embarresses you with the arrogance of this country, and saddens you to see how much money drugs are making.
