Former criminals and investigators rate crimes in movies and television shows for realism.

Pieter Tritton is a public speaker on the dangers of drugs. He was formerly a drug trafficker in the UK. He then began importing cocaine from Ecuador to Europe through a cartel connection and was arrested in Ecuador and sentenced to 12 years in one of the world's most violent and corrupt prisons. Tritton discusses the accuracy of drug-trafficking methods depicted in "Narcos," featuring Pedro Pascal, and "Breaking Bad," with Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Giancarlo Esposito.

John Pennisi is a former member of the Lucchese crime family who, after feeling he was betrayed by the family, cooperated with the FBI and became a government witness. Pennisi rates "The Sopranos," as well as "The Godfather," starring Al Pacino and Marlon Brando.

Cain Vincent Dyer is a motivational speaker and a former bank robber. He says he robbed over 100 banks across California between 1999 and 2001 before turning himself in, pleading guilty to six robberies and serving nine years in prison. He rates bank-robbery scenes in "Money Heist" and "The Dark Knight."

Mark Silverman, formerly associated with the Irish Mob in Boston, rates Irish Mob scenes in "The Departed," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon; "The Town," starring Ben Affleck; and "Black Mass," starring Johnny Depp.

Octave Durham, a former thief, and Arthur Brand, an art detective, rate diamond and art heist scenes in "Black Panther," starring Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan, and "Ocean's 8," starring Sandra Bullock.
