"Blow" blew my mind!

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2001)

I can honestly say that "Blow" is the first great movie of 2001. The story of George Young (Jung, Lung, and Mung were his nicknames) is an interesting one. I never saw a guy get arrested so many times and not learn his lesson. This guy never had a job for 30 years. All he did was smuggle drugs, either marijuana or cocaine. He'd get caught, do some time, and jump bail to do it all over again only to get caught again. Maybe he wanted to get caught deep down in his sub-conscious mind.
The movie is never boring and I didn't want it to end. That's how you know you're watching a great film. Johnny Depp plays the lead very well and it's funny how his character was still stuck in a 70's time warp through the 80's and 90's with his goofy hairstyles and his wide collar shirts and, in the most hilarious scene, he snorts a line of cocaine in 1992 only to say "It's pure disco." George gets out of prison in 2011 and he'll be in his 80's or 90's. I wonder if he'll smuggle again...probably cause this guy never learns his lesson. What a shame! Great movie! See it and you'll know what I mean!
