Great movie, to be watched again & again.

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2019)

I have watched this movie many times, to many to count. Having grown up in this timeline and atmosphere, I can relate to the grab that drugs will have on a person. Drugs can make a person very rich. Drugs can also ruin a persons life and those around them.
That time of life, the 1960's into the present day was a time when people realized they could make an incredible amount of money. dealing drugs They also had to balance the fact that their life could and might be ruined along with others around them. I'm also aware that drugs were around earlier in time but, this movie is about this time frame and the people depicted.
Johnny Depp was very good in this particular acting role. He was very believable and was very well done in his adaptation of the drug lord. I have watched this movie many times and it's still amazing as to how the drug trade moved along as it did. Penelope Cruz and her crazy drug infused ego and feeling nothing could satisfy her needs, she just wanted more of whatever may have made her feel better at that moment. Snort, spend, feel sorta better, repeat.
It's a life lesson as to what not to get involved in even though you can make a bundle of money and everyone and everything close to you can and will be ruined by your actions. A great movie in values and morals.
