"Two Big Thumbs Up For The Powerful Epic!" -Ebert & Roeper and the Movies
It's the high-stakes, high-risk world of the drug trade as seen through a well-blended mix of interrelated stories: a Mexican policeman (Benicio Del Toro) finds himself and his partner caught in an often deadly web of corruption; a pair of DEA agents (Dona Cheadle and Luis Guzman) work undercover in a sordid and dangerous part of San Diego; a wealthy drug baron living in upscale, suburban America is arrested and learns how quickly his unknowing and pampered wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) takes over his business; and the U.S. President's new drug czar (Michael Douglas) must deal with his increasingly drug-addicted teenage daughter.

Si vous aimez les histoires avec plusieurs personnages aux destin interdépendant, vous adorez ce film. Du chef de la DEA jusqu'au petit policier de Tijuana, on visite tous les rouages du monde de la drogue. L'utilisateur, l'importateur, le distributeur, le pourfendeur, etc. Les images sont superbes, voilà une autre belle fresque de Sodebergh.The extras are outstanding! - xYJx
Everyone knows the greatness that is the movie. However, the extras are what lift this DVD release into excellence. In the early days of Laserdiscs, studios crammed a bunch of interesting discussions and education about film. Then it fell into a repitive, standard, boring lull, as studios simply put trailers, bloopers and director commentary (often times directors would retell the same stories on the DVD as they told in pre-release interviews from Letterman, Access Hollywood, etc). However, Soderbergh & co take it to a whole new level as they show screen grabs/screen shots of how audio was composed/designed, as well as color correction and other important filmmaking techniques. This is a must see for any young ones looking to be filmmakers.wow, very good! - suntep
This a very good movie. Not easy to intertwine so many stories, four in fact an d get it right! the acting so amazing. You can see the helpless war that is waged on drugs, but what is the alternative? Do we not fight it? Of course we fight it. I love how the movie does give the hope and the fight againgst the odds.
