Johnny Depp's turn at playing the rags to riches drug lord story.

Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2002)

Johnny Depp is a compelling actor and this film is worth watching if you are a Depp fan. Otherwise if you are over twenty you've seen Al Pacino and others play this role. The character and story line all border on stereotypes. Paul Ruben does an interesting out of character (sort of) gay hair stylist drug pusher. If you've got an evening to kill and few other choices this will hold your attention. Penelope Cruz plays a hot (surprise) Latina and is just that....hot!
