Dislike

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2003)

I did not like the story, which conveniently overlooks the fact that the "hero" by selling drugs killed many people and destroyed an even greater number of health and families. I did not like the actresses: it was the first time I was seeing Penelope Cruz, and I found her skinny, and with a wolfish mouth -and very unnerving, even though I realize that her role required it in part; I did not like at all Rachel Griffiths - usually a good actress, but here bad-looking and bad-acting; as to gifted Franka Potente, she was totally misused.
I did not like the make-up, which is no way showed the ageing of the protagonists ( except Ray Liotta at the end of the movie ). I did not like too much Johnny Deep, who looked unconcerned during most of the proceedings, and ridiculous at the very end. Sure I rather liked Paul Reubens, the impressive Cliff Curtis, and I did like Ray Liotta's performance a lot. ..... But you will not be surprised when I state that, on the whole, I deeply disliked "Blow"
