A gaudy, coked-up three-hour rise-and-fall that starts loud and ends in operatic carnage, with quotable snarling throughout.
What it is
A Cuban immigrant rises through Miami’s cocaine trade, building a powerful empire through ambition and ruthless violence. As pressure from law enforcement, rival cartels, and his own paranoia intensifies, his pursuit of wealth and control becomes increasingly dangerous.
