Synopsis
"Most wasted."
Based on the bestselling autobiography of the same name, MR NICE is
the extraordinary story of Howard Marks.
During the mid 1980s Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans) had forty-three
aliases, eighty-nine phone lines and owned twenty-five companies
throughout the world. Whether bars, recording studios or offshore
banks, all were money laundering vehicles serving the core activity:
dope dealing.
At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to
thirty tonnes of marijuana from Pakistan and Thailand to America and
Canada and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the
CIA, the IRA and the Mafia.
