Featured reviews
A very underrated episode. The people who don't like SEASON 3, are the people who don't understand the importance of plot, characters, drama, and a hell of a story. A gritty story, an intense story. That is what SEASON 3 is all about,and that is why it's the greatest season of Vice. There isn't one single bad episode, such as the other seasons, which have their share of bad episodes. Cuba Libre has a great story that centers around government politics, money, and set-ups. Also great action, music, and steamy settings. Everything you crave for in a Vice episode. The episode begins with a exotic party and ends with a shootout in the a jungle type atmosphere. Half or the story takes place in the jungle and the setting gives the episode such a realistic, steamy feel. You can see the perspiration on Don Johnson. The supporting cast is terrific as always is Jan Hammer's music and everything else about this great episode clicks nicely.
