Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: One seriously confused documentary.
Fresh: Less a dispassionate examination than a celebratory infomercial on its central character.
Fresh: A fascinating first-person account of drug kingpin and ruthless gangster Nicky Barnes, whose outrageous story of rise, rule, rage, and revenge requires no such stylistic filler.
Fresh: Nonjudgmental without being morally dense, the film makes human sense out of an inhuman example of addiction capitalism, '70s style.
