I don't think it glorifies drug dealers. Its a movie not a documentary

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2005)

First I just want to say that personally this movie has extreme replay value and it makes its way into my DVD player often. Johnny Depp is amazing in this as well as the actor the plays Diego (I forget his name). People call this the "feel good drug dealer movie" and I would like to state my opinion. I think the pathetic and tragic character of Geogre Jung was treated as properly as could be outside of a documentary. This is a movie, not a BBC documentary. George Jung was consulted on the making of the movie and his comments are on the DVD. This movie does not make me like cocaine dealers, it makes me angry at George for neglecting his little girl and taking the easy money path. It frequently shows the harshness of drug dealers actually and quite dramatically. That's the way I see this movie. It's one of my favorite movies actually, I'll admit, they do make the drugs look fun (sometimes) but guess what, what drug have you ever heard of the was designed to suck? It sets the contrast that makes the low even lower in the movie. I feel it watching this movie.
