Audience Member Weak & generic looking doc that scavenges any footage they can from the original Cocaine Cowboys. Charles Crosby himself is a terrible storyteller & his story is pretty bland to begin with. The first film & CC Reloaded consumed the viewer with copious amounts of footage & multiple interviews. By comparison, CC2 presents itself as bad public access news. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/11/22 Full Review Audience Member This is so not worth it. There's more accurate information out there worth reading and also watching. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Cocaine Cowboys 2 is the sequel to the first highly acclaimed cocain cowboys one that took you on the underbelly journey of Miami's drug trade this time you are taken on an adventure in Oakland. USA. You hear about the Godmother of the trade again and how she saturated the entire country with her drugs. You also hear about the backstory of how she grew up and fled her extreme poverty. This documentary is not for the kiddies and is more something like sleepers. It is another eye opening chapter and gives you an insight of how far and wide and how many people were affected by all these drugs killings and just out and out mayhem. If you saw the first one you will want to see this chapter. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 6,5/10 not as good as the first one Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member No where near as good as the first Cocain Cowboys. It's interesting and gives a deeper look at the Coke Queen but you really only need to see the first one. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Sequel to Cocaine Cowboys takes a look at the Oakland crack cocaine trade seen through the eyes of Charles Cosby. Cosby recounts meeting Griselda Blanco, the Godmother of Cocaine, and the film takes a look at her life as well. This is quite interesting, but like the first film is raw and gritty, however this film feels less compelling even if it's an interesting topic. I really felt that this documentary could have been better and due to its subject, should have been something memorable. As it is it's a worth seeing, but is not a documentary that stands out either. The subject is good, but I feel that the documentary could have been reworked to be a much better document. If you enjoyed the first one, you might like this one, but it is a film that just ends falling short of its potential. The subject is interesting of course, but it isn't great either. The way it is presented is not to glorify this form of lifestyle, as I find this lifestyle appalling. The film shows how bad this lifestyle is and its consequences. Yes, it is easy money, but people who go into this business never last and each one faces an unavoidable downfall. This follow-up along with the first shows just that, but in the end it's not a film that you want to rewatch. This film is for people who enjoy crime documentaries, and it gives you an interesting portrait of the illicit trade. I liked it, but it is far from the best documentary that I've seen. Worth seeing once, but not more. The film had potential of being much better, but it is an average film in the long run.
