Goofs:
Plot holes: In Wakefield's meeting with the Chief of Staff, he's told his first media briefing will be in a month. One of movie's final scenes is that media briefing. Meaning the time frame from arrest to trial for Carlos Ayala is less than a month. That's highly unlikely, in fact almost impossible, for a major criminal trial.

This film was a complete mess. It did not connect the various stories beyond the fact that drugs was the common theme. Everyone knows that drugs come into a country and are then distributed. Furthermore, the attempt to shot the film in various spots as a semi- documentary was a horrendous failure. This film held no interest and the use of the colour blue in scenes involving the judge (Sheen) was a completely useless. The filmmakers should have study the works of Bava, and Fulci to learn a thing or two about use of colour to create an effect. Finally, the story revolving around the judge's daughter was plain stupid and full of cliches. The ending to this film was fitting it was as stupid as the rest of the film. Avoid this film. * out of *****.
