    Storyline

    • Trivia
      It was hard for Derek Oatis to watch the film saying: "I had a hard time revisiting the stuff. It prompted a return to therapy. I had a huge amount of guilt for what I did to my family. But in a weird way, it helped me process this stuff in a way I never had."
    • Goofs
      the $100 bills used to buy the cocaine during the bidding war are newbie prints/modern bills.
    • Crazy credits
      There is a snippet with Ed Bradley interviewing Derek Oatis during the end credits. Derek Oatis was the real life drug smuggler that this story is based upon.

    Pretty entertaining, but the ending stunk lol
    Ok, all in all it was pretty typical entertainment. I was kind of along for the ride all the way, it was cool to watch poor person become rich, etc. Kind of like 21, etc. Always whenever the poor person goes and gets rich he gets busted lol.

    Acting was like... well it was kids, so you know.

    Honestly I would recommend this if you're bored, looking for something to watch. It's intriguing, and kept my attention all the way through.

    The only thing that killed me was the ending. It was incredibly typical. After-school special. I couldn't handle it lol. Like, beyond "Drugs are bad, mmkay" ending.

    Basically when the show looks like it's over, just go ahead and turn it off lol. Nothing special. Well, sort of. Actually there's one interesting part in there.

    I liked it because it reminded me of a friend that used to get caught up in stuff like that. Lol. He actually got off the hook though! lol

    Was busted and ended up with a mistrial because the car had been searched after detention lasted much longer than it should.
