action

Howard Marks, a philosophy and physics student at Balliol College, Oxford, began his career as the greatest drug smuggler in British history after graduating in physics. Using various false identities, for example under the code name Mr. Donald Nice, he smuggles marijuana and hashish all over the world. He also helps the CIA and MI6 against the Mafia and the IRA, which saves him from prison, but not forever.

criticism

On the one hand, critic.de praises the film “not only knows how to win dramatic plot twists and visual highlights from the life story of the Welsh drug lord, but also a lot of humor in the face of crime and punishment”, but criticizes: “Only when Bernard Rose towards the end in serious mode passes over, Mr. Nice weakens a little, especially since the film here identifies surprisingly one-sidedly with its criminal main character.
