Operation Odessa

Bon film !

Everyone has a story about the narcos nowadays. Operation Odessa follows the rule and tells us the story about drugs, luxury cars and everything that goes with it. The story might be true, it is hard to corroborate every detail but we can have some serious doubts by the way it is told. Mostly interviews and some photographic illustrations that look like they have been taken from Google Images. It is entertaining but is it really a documentary or just a movie?

So much fun. These guys are nuts and I love them...minus the killing and selling drugs and all.

I was expecting to enjoy it as I live in Miami and the story was Miami based as well. What I didn't expect and I appreciated the most, was the comedy part of the film.... the way the story was presented, well documented, the cinematography as well.... absolutely brilliant. This is the kind of documentary will make you hate only one thing.... the fact that it ends at some point.

Extremely funny characters telling truth stories about their adventures in the 1990s. The stories they tell are so unbelievable yet so true and they are told in a manner where you burst in laughter time to time. Their lives feel like a movie. But overall extremely well shot and told documentary. Would reccomend to anyone. Loved it!

No movie about this adventure would ever have been made because the truth is crazier than fiction. A cast of characters somewhere between crafty and complete misfits that cause you to genuinely like them. The story contains some loose ends and the storytelling could definitely have been tighter, but this is an incredibly enjoyable and educational ride. Provides a real window into the wild, wild worlds of Miami, Russia and the seemingly ubiquitous role of cocaine in the 80's and early 90's.

One of the best documentaries I ever seen, I actually saw it 3 times in 3 days. Right after Tarzan went to jail in late 90's, I started dating his former "girlfriend", she is actually from my home country which I like to keep a secret, so we had many things in common. She confessed about Tarzan after we dated 2 weeks, but she assured me that he is in jail because I freaked out a bit when I heard it the first time, as they were still in touch. She told me the story in this documentary about him, his friends, and the Submarine story. When I found the documentary last week, I couldn't believe my eyes, and it turned out to be a really amazing story! We only dated a few months and than lost touch as she left town and I never saw her again.

The best thing about this doco-is the guys telling the story-imo you can always tell someone that was really there from the details in the story👌🏼 All were at one stage filthy rich,throw in cocaine smuggling,international boats and planes and a international thief,exotic cars and u have a awesome doco! It has comedy,plenty of footage and pictures. 1 guy named tony is still wanted by Interpol till this day-his probably the only man to steal 10million dollars from the cartel and lived to tell the tale.. Then they tell you the detailed story of how they went to a naval yard in Russia WITH A CAMERA and took pics for the cartel that wanted to buy a ($35,000,000) submarine.. Flying by helicopter to purchase cheap motorcycles to resell,they done it all😂

I have never ever had this much fun with a documentary in my entire life. This has to be some of the best stuff I have ever seen! Hook me up with Tarzan please, man what a guy haha!

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It pulls you in from the get go and even though you know you *should have pure disdain for the bad guys, you almost feel guilty for actually liking them.
