Blew me.

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2015)

I am ashamed to say that I had not watched this movie before, as from the poster, I thought "Blow" was some sort of boring love movie involving Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp. If only I had known! In any case, better late than never right?
I mean, the movie is great. Depp plays this character that has a normal upbringing. He is raised by a caring father and a neurotic mother. Unfortunately, as an adult he gets involved in the drug business and he seems to be extremely good at it. While he obviously has some great years, leaving a lavish lifestyle, as it often happens, everything spirals down or him all of a sudden.
Though, you cannot count blow as an amazingly unique movie (after all, there are many mafia/drug movies out there), I found it quite entertaining. In fact, it makes me want to see the latest Johny Depp flick (Black Mass) see if it just as good.
