Home Theater Info Reviews Cocaine Cowboys 2

Friday, June 27th, 2008
In his follow up film, ‘Cocaine Cowboy 2 Hustlin’ With The Godmother’ Corben shows that one of the most ruthless and successful people in the cocaine trade was a woman, Griselda Blanco. She was a bad if not worse than any of her male counterparts and this film chronicles the rise and fall of this most notorious of women. She ruled her drug empire with an iron fist eliminating any and all competition and those that would stand in her way. This is a gripping story that although dark and violent is important to watch. It puts human faces on the drug lords that have been all too long glorified by Hollywood in films like ‘Scarface’ and television series such as ‘Miami Vice’…

Review of CC II: Hustlin’ With the Godmother on Variety

Review of Cocaine Cowboys II

Fresh off the wire is a review found on Variety about Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ With The Godmother. The author, Robert Koehler, says in his review that “the wild fusillade of colorful characters and incidents in “Cocaine Cowboys” gets toned down a touch in “Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ With the Godmother,” less a sequel than an extended chapter of the previous saga of how Colombian drug lords took over the U.S. cocaine trade in the early 1980s. Director Billy Corben veers from the first film’s panoramic view to a narrower focus on small-time gangbanger Charles Cosby, who has quite a story to tell — and does it extremely well. True-crime fans will make up the docu’s core and during midsummer release through Magnolia’s new Magnet distrib arm…”

Cocaine Cowboys Pilot for HBO - Script Reviewed

Monday, May 26th, 2008

via SlashFilm.com

Author, Hunter Stephenson, reviews the script of the Cocaine Cowboys pilot for HBO.

Earlier this month, we reported on the possibility of a new HBO show based on 2006’s engrossing hit documentary, Cocaine Cowboys, from uber players Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Today, Slashfilm gives you an exclusive review of the script for Cocaine Cowboys‘ pilot episode written by Billy Corben and David Cypkin of Rakontur, the Miami-based production company behind the doc and its sequel (set for release this July). For legal reasons, we’ve omitted specific plot details in the review.

Being familiar with Rakontur’s M.O. and work from my time on Miami Beach, I had previously tagged their HBO show pitch as “the antithesis of Miami Vice.” So, it was no surprise to see the opening credits in the script described as such. Verbatim. But while the show’s oddly subdued credits might fit this “antithesis” (old farts playing shuffleboard, an idyllic underdeveloped Miami Beach circa ‘79) , the pilot is not as leery of Don Johnson’s white blazers and Michael Mann’s kooky multiculti derelicts and crabs as I surmised. Recall that the first season of Miami Vice didn’t drip with Art Deco camp under Mann’s watch: the action exuded unprecedented cinematic flash and all of Miami was game, not just Miami Beach beauty. New York City figured into Vice’s early storyline, as it does here. Everything in Cocaine Cowboys is similarly bigger-than-life but far seedier.

Q: Mr. Cosby what was it like to be in the company of Griselda Blanco?
A: Being in the presence of Griselda was no different than socializing with any other of my friends.

Q: What was your reaction when you saw Griselda for the first time?
A: My reaction? I was nervous. I didn’t quite know what to expect but I internalized the nervous energy.

Q: What were the first words Griselda said to you at the visit?
A: “Thank you for coming to see me” were among her first words.

Q: Did the sudden wealth change your life?
A: My life didn’t change much. Only because Griselda cautioned against high-end spending. She insisted I remain low key!

Q: If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
A: I’d get an education, go to law school, and become a successful criminal defense attorney.
