DVD Talk:

A lurid true crime documentary that, occasionally, unfolds like a particularly gruesome episode of NBC’s long-running infotainment series “Dateline,” director Billy Corben’s follow-up to 2006’s salacious, totally compelling drug doc Cocaine Cowboys would seem wildly over the top and contrived were it not all so meticulously documented.

Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin’ With the Godmother, which essentially expands upon events mentioned only briefly in Corben’s first film, is even more insane — you’ll emphatically agree with the film’s protagonist, Charles Cosby, when he declares at the film’s conclusion, “I’m a lucky motherfucker”
