BUY IT! ... EXCELLENT! ....NOT TO BE CRITICIZED!
I can't BELIEVE anyone could put down this movie! First of all,it's a TRUE story about the famous criminal George Jung who quoted something like "I saw Johnny Depp become SO MUCH like me , it was scary"! Johhny Depp did an EXCELLENT performance, he is an excellent actor, so is Ray Liotta (who plays his Dad, and Ray is only 7 and 1/2 yrs older than Johnny in real life,but this movie goes over a 25+ yr. time span)! It was refreshing to see Ray Liotta in a "Non-Violent role! lol! The first movie I saw with Penelope Cruz,and she was good.I DO NOT see this movie as GLORIFYING crime! Neither do my friends, we see the TRUTH in this, that CRIME DOESN'T PAY! George could have changed, but he was obsessed with living on the edge. This movie is a GREAT influence for those FOOLS out there who are selling drugs thinking "I'm careful, it will never happen to me". OR "I won't get cought, because I don't use drugs, I'm careful, I just sell them"(remember Ray Liotta in GOODFELLOWS getting busted for coke? I recommend that movie also,good mafia movie,lots of famous stars & funny). This movie also teaches you, that when it comes to the people you THINK are your friends, who also sell drugs, are NOT really your friends! (no, I never sold them! you'll see in the movie what I mean). Everyone drug dealer is out to save their own self from jail! This movie is worth watching way more than once. You'll see how George lost MORE than his freedom, mansion,wife, and fancy cars, in the end of the movie. Theres good classic rock music in this movie too, plenty of action and suspence!!! Worth Buying!
