How to Make Money Selling Drugs (2013)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

OK this film is good and well worth watching. The final message after you go through all the video game theatricals is powerful and should come as quite a surprise. However...Although I feel the film is being aimed at young people, instead of influential adults. Young people cannot change anything for 20-50 years, and that's only for a lucky few.When in reality we really need the laws/state of the war on drugs, to change within the next 5-10 years! So the documentary could have been a bit less obvious and more informative. "Lesson 1" "Mission complete" all these aspects were total b.s. and totally not needed.This will just be like "Band Aid" was to Africa (a total waste of time.) Putting high paid actors on it was totally not necessary either. More of the "real" people being affected would have been better in my opinion.Due to the style of this film a lot of important families/people will not even get/want to see it, preferring to avoid it in the extreme cases. Which to me, defeats the purpose of the film's end message/goal.So I gave it 6 out of 10 for the good performances by the characters and because of the knowledge it delivered. Yet even 6 seems too high, for the more I think and analyse its content the more of a farce the film seems and in actuality it's just another cash crop from the fields of unexperienced dummies.First watch I liked it though, after lots of thought second watch was avoided. Film became not liked.

9.1 of 10. Starts out feeling like a comedy, a faux documentary, in part because of the title, but also because the opening few minutes mock the opening of any "how to get rich" or "how to be successful" TV/video nonsense. Then the alternate reality shifts into reality, but continues with the quick pace and fun attitude for what is a tragic look into the past and present of drugs.It's essentially The War on Drugs documentary for Colbert Report and Daily Show fans, maybe even South Park fans. About the only thing it does wrong is not provide enough charts and data. What it does provide are seamlessly integrated into the film. I would have also like the part on Portugual explored a little more deeply.But wait, there's more! No need for a gun, you can make money by selling drug fear too! This is more than a literal look at how to make money by selling drugs. It gets into the many different ways politicians and corporations are profiting from drug prohibition.

How to make money selling drugs was nothing short of stunning - stunning in it's execution, stunning in it's story telling, stunning in it's talent and stunning in it's ability to keep you thinking long after the movie ends. I was totally blown away by the movie's power, while still hitting on nuggets of comedic genius. To me, a truly great movie is one that gives you a little bit of everything...laughter, sadness, awe, etc. And this one definitely gave me a taste of all of the things that leave me wanting more. I would whole heartedly recommend this movie to just about anyone.

This film can only be surprised as a unique surprise that captivated my attention from start to finish. How to make money selling drugs is not just a documentary on the war on drugs, but a powerful portrayal of actual people that spin off the screen and permeate our thoughts on a prevalently discussed topic. Regardless of the person being interviewed, we see deeply into each person's story - their "importance" in the drug world is all equal in terms of the connection you get to each story.But the film is not just introspective and thought provoking, it is funny, witty and entertaining in a way that I don't often find.Bravo!
