Sorry, this movie sucks
Sick Product of a Sick System
One of my all time favorites.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
A complete mess of a film. Poor acting from everyone involved. No direction. No vision. A waste of a very interesting story and person.
Well there's a few problems I found with this movie. #1 Why does Catherine look so rough? Griselda did not look that rough when younger. Catherine looks like she's got cancer, not coked up or entirely too coked up. The storyline is super patchy. This story is a very interesting one and can really be told in a much more facinating way. Even for a Lifetime movie, this was a really horrible production and I got this from redbox so I wasted my money.
Catherine Zeta Jones was superb, she mentioned it was her favorite part to play ever . A spectacular thriller that showed a women in charge from the early days. History in the making and worth viewing.
The life of drug lord Griselda Blanco, a pioneer in the Miami-based cocaine trade. At the age of 17, Griselda Blanco, made her way to the U.S. with a fake passport with her first husband Carlos. Living in Queens with her three sons, Griselda became enticed by the money the drug world offered, and quickly became embroiled with local drug runners. Griselda masterminded the use of beautiful women, the elderly and children as the mules and created false-bottom suitcases to smuggle cocaine from Colombia. With money rolling in, her sons abandoned school and entered the family business instead.CZ Jones is good in the movie but man it is painfully slow. It's like they had to add a ton of padding to fill the allotted TV slot on Lifetime . The movie should have been in a 90minute slot -- in other words with the commercials out about 65-70 minutes .The way it is now, it's just drags on and on until you want to shut it off.
