Depp is brillant
Depp always commit full heartedly to his performances and this film is no exception. His near flawless performance as the very unlikeable George Jung, for me, is jaw-dropping as it is aspiring. There is no real point to this story other to just let us peek inside the life of a man who establish the cocaine trade in America. The director is careful to keep you at arms length while adding subtle touches to humanize Jung. The best way to do that with an American audience is to throw in a sad looking kid. We're suckers for children.Maybe the message is: If you're not careful, you too can make a career out of bad choices or maybe it's just fun to watch Johnny Depp do his thing.
