Review of Blow (2001) by T H — 04 Sep 2013
Blow is the story of George Jung, the man who went from the average kid next door in a small town to the State's biggest cocaine importer suppling more than 85% of the total coke imported during the 70s and 80s.
Taking on the role is Johnny Depp who gives an absolutely stellar performance which may just be one of the best in his impressive career. With drug money fueling an American dream to never live in poverty Blow chronicles the rise and fall of Jung portrayed by Depp with just the right mix of greed, sophistication, and confusion.
One of the more unusual 'drug films' I've seen, Blow twists sympathies easily and proves a compelling watch that comes highly recommended.
