Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2014)

Blow is a very original, and true story about drug lord George Jung who allegedly imported 85 percent of all of America's cocaine in the 1970's and has served as an inspiration for many other films. It is directed by Ted Demme. In the Film, George Young escapes from his poverty stricken life in a small town in Massachusetts to California where he begins to sell Marijuana. As business grows George and his friend Tuna begin importing there dope from Mexico. After a jail sentence, George gains connections in the world of cocaine and begins importing the drug from Columbia and distributing it throughout the U.S.A. Johnny Depp delivers a brilliant performance as his character gets more and more caught up in the wealthy lifestyle, betrayal, and risk of life as an international drug dealer. Blow demonstrated how a many can go from the highest point that a person to be, having more money than he could ever imagine, having a beautiful wife, and consuming large amounts of narcotics, to being stabbed in the back by his closest connection and having to run from the police. Blow is a story of success, money, drugs, but most of all regret. At the end of the film George asks himself from inside prison "Was it all worth it?" With his family destroyed, his money taken, and his heart broken, he simply answers "no".
