One of the most pointless films ever made?

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2002)

Drugs are bad, that we already know. Dealing drugs always ends up with someone going to jail, losing all his money, losing his family or all of it. That we also know. We also know that almost the entire cast of "Blow" has been able of delivering fantastic performances many times before. So why wasting everyones time with this film? Nothing new is being said, the plot is non-existing, and the actors have nothing to work with. Except wearing a lot of different clothes & wigs of course. And why is the film promoted as Penelope Cruz has a major starring role? She appears for the first time after 65 minutes and then kinda just floats around in the background with nothing to do or say. This also goes for Franka Potente in the roll as "Barbara", George Jungs first girlfriend. She's nothing more than an extra with a few lines. Her "disapperance" from George Jung:s life comes very sudden and abrupt and leaves the audience shaking their heads and thinking "She had cancer!!???". The holes in the plot are so huge that they are eating it up.
2/10
