Blue collar drug smuggler does good than pardon the pun "blows" it

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2001)

Johhny Deppe plays a blue collar drug smuggler that reaches the pinnacle of success in his chosen field. Almost invariably this "success" is fleeting as "circumstances" produce a downward spiral of events that lead to losing everything he built. Should we feel sorry for him? Ask anybody in prison why their there and they will tell you "I got a bad rap" "It wasn't my fault, it was just circumstances" and so on. George Jung's story was told a long those lines but I didn't buy it. Stupidity does a good story not make. Although Ray Liotta's performance was exceptional and Johhny Deppe as usual is solid and highly underrated. I give this movie a 7 and a 9 for the soundtrack for bringing back the memories of the good old days of rolling a fatty and listening to some good tunes with the buds.
