I didn't know Penelope Cruz could act

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2001)

I thought she was just a flavor of the month - but based on Blow where she gives a good performance - I look forward to seeing her in other movies. Of course in Blow she has most of her scenes with Johnny Depp who is at the top of his form. He gives an Oscar worthy performance that spans 3 decades in the life of an American drug dealer. There are other good performances in Blow especially Ray Liotta & Rachel Griffiths as Johnny Depp's parents. I went to see Blow not expecting anything great but I came away very impressed by the film
