Nothing new

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2001)

The first half of the film is really bad. Here it comes across as a tame imitation of Goodfellas, Boogie Nights or even Donnie Brasco. The last part is remarkebly better, but still the characters are just too one-dimensional to really engage the viewer. If you want to see a good film about drugs, go see Traffic. If you want a good movie about a life of crime, watch Goodfellas (again). If you're a big Johnny Depp fan, Blow probably won't dissapoint you - he plays really well but it just isn't enough to make a really food movie.
