Review by GEORGE R WARBURTON
This movie is very well written, acted and executed. So why doesn't the library have it in the series?

This movie is very well written, acted and executed. So why doesn't the library have it in the series?
This is not for the faint of heart, as it deals with how the US government actually deals with the drug war and does not have to play by just about any rules. Strong cast, script and acting, but a tough film.
