The life of George Jung
Looking at the cover, I expected to see a bit more of Penelope Cruz; however, her role, although pivotal, was minor compared to Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp shows how the life and times of the convicted drug dealer George Jung aged and changed him.The typical movie about drug lords and dealers tend to be stark and violent. Even though this movie has its share of violence, the movie humanizes Jung to show depth and feeling. We see his motivations and concerns. Although we don't condone the behavior, we have a better insight into why this happens.The DVD has some interview footage with Jung to provide the viewer with some background information. I found this interesting, but Jung is not very animated, which can be expected from the long time spent in prison.I would recommend this movie.
