Will "Blow" you away
I just saw this movie last night when it was aired on television. I was really amazed by how incredible the movie was. The movie tells the life of George Jung who took a vow when he was a little boy to never be poor and in his adult maybe took that a little too far. When George grew up he moved to California where he was first introduced to marijuana, and started dealing that. He was later introduced to cocaine and became the biggest drug lord this country has ever seen- he mentions in the movie that if you snorted coke in the late 70's there was an 85% chance you snorted his coke. Anyway the movie tells the story of his life with that. Johnny Depp gave an unbelievable performance as he always does and the script has the right combination of heartfelt moments, drama and humor for a film like this.I also think that this film is so great because it shows what the drug life is really like. Sure George made 3 million dollars everytime he brough cocaine across the border but look at him at the end of the movie.(and girls- if it turns out that you dont like it, which i doubt will happen, you can just stare at johnny depp the entire time)
