Plot

A man goes looking for cocaine on Culebra, an island of Puerto Rico. Some cops (undercover) offer to help by taking the map and getting the coke in exchange for half. The cops (still undercover) send the man a picture of a hole with a bag in it, implying that cocaine is in the bag. They ask the man to come to a parking lot to give him his cut. At this time they arrest him for conspiracy.

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 78% based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 5.89/10.[2] Adrian Horton of The Guardian wrote, "For one, hammy, winking re-enactments comprise a solid half, if not more, of the film, frequently pushing it toward the realm of dramedy, not always pleasantly".[3] Michael Mckinney of FanBolt wrote, "Director Theo Love treats Rodney with respect and doesn’t make him the bad guy".[4]
