Well I didn't know anything about Bulgaria's crime syndicate before watching this documentary on Amazon's Prime Video service. Now I do!

Interviews with a high-ranking ex-member called Georgi Stoev from historical tv segments and additional sequences reacted by Stefan Antonov; an experienced journalist with knowledge of Bulgarian Governance and Business Journalism, according to his Linked-in page and a Google Search.

The technique used is solid; it's really a lot of lifted footage from news' channels and interviewing knowledgeable about the gangland violence and their history and links of imitating The Godfather book by Mario Puzo.

There's a LOT of clichés but what does one expect from this genre of subject? I like the interviews and the questions generally are strong and direct. The narrator does a good job of explaining the situation.

It's a bit long for what it is and it glamourises their success but it also has a cynical approach and shows people that gangland lifestyle is not a good career path to get old in life.

It's a good documentary except it's very formulated and there's so many of this type. It could explain a bit more about the Bulgarian side of finance and governance bureaucracy but that's always difficult with Eastern block countries.

Overall it's a valiant effort but it's a very overdone genre and there's better stuff now. It's aged well but it's not as good as other documentaries in this field. A strong seven.
