A great film about a horrible subject

Rating: Null/10 (23 September 2003)

I consider Blow to be up there with the Shawshank Redemptions and the Usual Suspects films, but it is probably more reminiscent to Boogie Nights to be honest, with the exception that the story is about a totally different subject, drugs. I don't want to give anything away in regards to plot, but Johnny Depp gives, yet again, another fantastic performance. The directing is superb and the cinematography is good.
This film really draws you in and makes you feel very sorry for George Jung, especially as his upbringing was quite hard. At the end of the day though he is a person who took a wrong turn and payed the price.
I give this one a 8/10, excellent - definitely in my top 50.
