great film, Depp amazing

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2004)

Blow is an amazing film about the rise and fall of a major cocaine lord, George Jung. This film definitely goes into the saying, "The higher you go the further you can fall." Johnny Depp is amazing in this film, as he always is. This is one of my favorite Depp movies, next to "Sleepy Hollow," "Edward Sciccorhands, and "From Hell." There is an action-packed plot along with a deep moral to the story and great camera-work. The narration also added quite a bit to this film. It gives a certain realism to this film, which is needed seeing that it is based off the true story of George Jung. Jung loses his most valuable asset due to dealing, and he realizes it's his most valuable too late. I give it 7/10 stars.
