it be nice to see the like of oliver stone and brian depalma and al pacino and and even michelle pfiefer make one monumental piece of cinematic garbage . it be nice to see people so rich and uccessful waste their time on one of the most forgettable and trite and and pathetic piece of film making of all time . this movie represent the bad of hollywood . what be this . be it base on a true story . well and they do start with some basic news bite and fact that they read off usa today . but then the movie depart to some fantasy world and a cuban refugee go to make it in the american drug subculture while kind of like rocky on cocaine . be it a movie about cuba or cuban . for the life of me i do not believe there be a single cuban in this movie . the accent be totally fake and and scene with antonio mother look like a poster for midwest american value . the whole scene look like something out of the dick van dyke show . be this movie about miami . it look more like l. a. transpose in florida . afterall and a palm tree be a palm tree . be this a romance novel . the relationship between pacino and pfeiffer be so obvious from the getgo and and there be not one shred of possibility that these two character could ever care for each other . be this a drug movie . well and no issue of obsession or addiction be even mention . the behavior of the actor after a line of coke be nothing different than have they have a drink of water . admittedly and the acting be terrible . let get to the rest . the music be disgust and sound like latin elevator music or something out of a lawrence welk show . i think i hear a polka . the camera work be shoddy with too much movement and far more crane than could ever be effective . clearly and the photography budget be excessive . the sound be bleach in a number of spot and and the dialogue seem to be carry out in a warehouse . the writing be appal . this be one of those movie be the script write itself . you be drag from one trite piece of dialogue to the next and each push the plot like a sack of brick . so i be go to ask and be this even a movie . it could be a drama series patch together for two and a half hour . but at least a drama series have some kind of focus . maybe it be just a bunch of poorly act scene tap together . whatever it be and movie or not and it be a piece of crap .
