One of the better films of year so far IMO. Also one of the more unusual "coming to America movies" you will see.
Given the subject matter, this film could easily have been a cliche fest, with cheap sentimentality and sensationalist melodrama. But the director (an American, BTW, a graduate of NYU) takes a realistic and matter of fact tone with material and lets the drama develop though the heroine's direct experience . Very subtle performances from the principals. The director, I'm told, thoroughly reserached the drug trade in NYC and Columbia for the movie.
Be patient and the film will reward you.
