Superb bio

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2006)

Johnny Depp plays George Jung, one of the biggest drug smugglers of all time - the guy who invented the cocaine craze of the 70s and 80s. Once had a $100 million and lost it. Depp plays him as on OK guy who's quite bad at choosing friends and wives and parents. His mother esp comes across as one the most hate-able people in screen history.
Some other big names in the film are Penelope Cruz as the wife and Ray Liotta as the father. Other posters here at IMDb railed about the poor performance of Cruz but i didn't see that. She simply played an unsympathetic character. Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman) has a decent part and is fine.
Very satisfying ending. You feel this is what the guy deserved and according to wikipedia, the ending is pretty accurate too.
