Poor coverage, poorly edited, poorly written = bad film
This mini-series was disgraceful. Not only is the script bad, but the production value terrible and the acting, for the most part, poor. I found it shocking that this would come out on DVD - clearly an attempt to capitalize on Traffic.
I began watching before I realized it was a Net (NBC) mini-series, and thought it must have been produced mega low-budget by a Mexican TV chain - it was done in such a latino soap-opera style.
Awful.
