Rodney Hyden's quixotic quest for riches makes The Legend of Cocaine Island a mirthful adventure, although director Theo Love's stylistic flourishes are often counterproductive in conveying the inherent interest of this true story.

This laughable yet laugh-inducing documentary has probably helped save him from the financial ruin that he was trying to escape with his cocaine adventure. Maybe he wasn't so stupid after all. April 1, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
