Depp does it again.

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2001)

The under rated Johnny Depp plays a 180 degree turn from the Al Pacino character seen in 'Scarface'. Depp is cerebral in his portrayal of convicted drug kingpin George Jung who lost his fortune, his family and his own dirty business after going to prison. 'Blow' has a long and draining effect which is not for all tastes and the portrayal of Jung's parents by Ray Liotta and Rachel Griffiths are getting mixed reviews. I personally liked the performances and the real life look at the drug trade and the public's demand for it opens a new debate. Director Ted Demme's vision is sure footed and very credible. Paul Reubens and Penelope Cruz give good supporting performances as well.
