        Yes, a cinematic masterpiece soon to be on the criterion collection!

          Cut out the feel good “not without my daughter” parts of the story and it was actually pretty good.

          Scratch that, take out the plot but keep all the kills, add a few more in and the film would have been a solid 8/10.

            Something tells me that your favorite movie is either The English Patient or The Constant Gardener.

            Definitely something starring Ralph Fiennes!

      Oh, so the turtle was unemployed, after all

      Good to hear she didn’t turn to the path of crime

      The Coast Guard sure has some funky math.

      seized 7 tons of cocaine worth over $135 million

      But this 1800 lbs is worth $53mil?

      They’re just making up these numbers

      Crazy they found $40 million worth of cocaine on this turtle. Where could it have gotten the $35 million of cocaine from?

          I’m sure there will be an astute amount of investigation on the 20 million worth of cociane floating with the turtle

              $10 million worth of cocaine?

                I know in drug world that is not big but still busting the source of that 5 million worth of cocaine would still be a big leap .

    The cutter Thetis is part of Operation Martillo — an international effort launched in 2012 to target drug trafficking routes along the Central American coast.

    In its most recent patrol, the operation seized 7 tons of cocaine worth over $135 million, according to a release by the Coast Guard.

    From now on, we need to refer to all water traveling drug smugglers as drug turtles instead of drug mules.

    Did I ever tell you the time we found a turtle with $50 million worth of cocaine attached to it?

        Not sure, but we gave the $40 million worth of cocane to the FDA.
