Product: Blow [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 5.0
Great flick
There was a time when I didn't like Johnny Depp. I used to steer clear of his films simply because I had a pre-concieved notion in my mind that I wasn't going to enjoy myself watching Johnny Depp. All this changed however after I saw "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". And once again, I am impressed with Depp's work, this time in the movie Blow. Depp's portrayal of legendary cocaine dealer George Jung is wonderful. He makes Jung such a likeable person that you don't want to see anything bad happen to the guy, even if he is waste deep in cocaine. Another thing I found interesting about this movie was its almost non-existent use of sex and violence. The story itself, of a middle class kid from Massachusetts growing up to be America's number one coke dealer with simple business savvy is so intriguing that it didn't need the usual drug-dealer movie cliches. Killer flick.
