This HBO films production was quite interesting. From other movies about drug trade, like Bad Boys II, this one was very realistic. A lot of drugs come from Colombia, the trade there seems to turn into a legalized trade even if it isn't.
When Maria has to go throw the Customs and she nearly gets caught, looks like her unborn child saved her from being escorted out the airport in hand-cuffs behind her back just like the curly blonde Colombian woman being escorted in front of Maria. For a moment there, I feared Maria would be next to be escorted in hand-cuffs behind her back out of the airport, I was both enjoying and getting heart-pumped about that scene; I enjoyed because I love to see young woman in hand-cuffs, especially whores more than mules. I got heart-pumped, like I was feeling Maria's fear of not getting inside the US.
With Maria being in the Colombian community in Queens, New York, it really shows a side of the place unknown to the average American. Glad in the end, Maria stays in America, because the country always gives hope of a better life or it use to. If this is based on a thousand true stories, then it must have been settling in the 90's, before 9/11 !
