A film worth Watching!!!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2004)

To me, 'Blow' is a film worth watching, for Depp's portrayal of George Jung, endorsed even by Jung himself in a series of interviews held with the film's inspiration in Otisville Prison (where he serves his sentence until 2015). These interviews are conducted by the films director, Ted Demme. Depp portrays Jung as an intelligent man intent on making as much money as he can as easily as possible. However, Depp also shows Jung's sensitive and human side, giving a rounded account of George Jung as a person and of the story of his life. Ray Liotta plays Jung's loving father, always supportive towards his son. Liotta gave a wonderful performance, fitting into the role well. Penelope Cruz' character, Mirtha Jung, (Depp's Wife) is played quite well, but was slightly lacking in presence to me. Overall, I feel that 'Blow' is an excellent film that you should go and watch!
