Blow, blew me away!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

This film is simply amazing. The story, cast and soundtrack are all perfect. Johnny Depp's role as America's #1 cocaine distributer, George "Boston George" Young reminds me of that of a rock and roll star, using his talents to have everything one day but making a lot of mistakes and having nothing the next. The story of George climbing the latter of the drug importing/exporting business is more then entertaining. This film is full of memorable scenes and quotes, accompanied by an awesome 70's soundtrack that completes the mood of the story. I feel this movie is an instant classic and definitely Depp's best performance. This is the film that made me appreciate cinematography, every shot in this film is unique and represents the mood of the scene. At the end of George's journey you might wonder about his choices in life and if they were really worth it. One thing you will know for sure, the film was worth watching.
10/10
