How Depressing

Rating: 5/10 (2 September 2007)

Blow(2001)
Review: Based on the story of George Jung. Here's my take:
Blow is one of those movies. What kind? The few that really tell you something. The message is what helps here. Live this type of lifestyle and only sorrow will remain. Do not get involved with the wrong crowd. Do not take that shot of heroin. Do not take that first snort of coke. Do not deal drugs. All good messages.
However, this is a really depressing movie. That of course means that replay value is none. There is no way i'll see this movie again for it's such a downer. Dare I say that this movie should be shown to the troubled teen going out with the wrong crowd or at high schools across the nation to tell our teens not to get involved in this life. It's so depressing that it could work. The moral here is that this life will likely end in death, or prison with your family to never speak to you again.
The Last Word: Powerful message, but not a feel-good movie. If your looking for a good popcorn movie, than stay away from this. Therefore, I cannot recommend this movie.
