Quartile rating: 7.5/10 · 1 rating
Ten easy steps show you how to make money from drugs, featuring a series of interviews with drug dealers, prison employees, and lobbyists arguing for tougher drug laws.
A competent and engaging documentary that uses a clever satirical framing device—presenting drug dealing as a step-by-step career guide—to explore the war on drugs from multiple angles. The interviews with actual dealers, former DEA agents, and policy advocates give it credibility and depth. However, it doesn't break significant new ground beyond what films like The House I Live In have already covered, and its visual presentation is functional rather than distinctive. A solid, informative watch that lands squarely in above-average territory across the board without truly excelling in any single dimension.
