Negative Positive
Title: a detailed, informative, and interesting documentary
Review: This movie is a very interesting and thoughtful look at the American drug war. The film maker makes his statement very effectively with a combination of personal stories and interviews. He also incorporates information from books and news archives. The documentary includes interviews with a very wide range of people who have been affected by drugs and the drug war. I bought it thinking it looked interesting but I got much more than I expected. It is the best documentary I have seen in years. Too often there is so much "fluff" in films I feel that I have wasted my time on them. This movie is almost 2 hours long and I was never bored and only found one very short scene to be unnecessary (Joe Rogan smoking marijuana- didn't take away from it but didn't add anything). I actually wondered how it covered so much in only 2 hours. I will warn potential that there are some controversial opinions expressed and some very graphic and unpleasant scenes.
Is the review positive or negative?
