Inside The Mind Of The British Man
Top 10: Drug Kingpins
Moviegoers have an odd fascination with drug dealers that goes back to the bootlegging gangster days. Although audiences know these can be ruthless men (and women), they still idolise them somewhat. It’s because they seem above the law and out of the typical rigours of "the system." They have the balls to do what we all want to, say “To hell with it” and not care about society’s rules. While they profit on others’ addiction and misery, there is something carnal and evolutionary about them. Alpha dogs that have figured out a loophole and exploit it. That is, until they eventually fall, but even that is often an amazing blaze of glory. Real-life drug dealers may not be as exciting, fearless, and oddly ethical, but we’re glad to follow these Hollywood dealers into a drug war.
