Blow - I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll make a bad movie
Blow is the true tale of George Jung?s (Johnny Depp,Edward Scissorhands) comeuppance in the high stakes world of drug trafficking. Despite a Weymouth, Massachusetts upbringing from an honest father (Ray Liotta,Muppets from Space) with a strong work ethic, George?s aspirations deviate. Transplanted... Read full review »
Blows Traffic Away
Note: For those of you who don't want plot details, I begin the review with a general critique and give fair warning of the synopsis that follows.

Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
In the closing moments of Blow, the failed (and jailed) drug smuggler George Jung tells us, ?My ambition far exceed my talent.?

Blow DVD
George Jung Johnny Depp doesn't want to live like his father Ray Liotta--always short of money and constantly berated by his mother Rachel Griffiths. So he sets off for California to live on the beach where he finds he can make a living selling drugs. Soon George's drug dealing business expands into shipping drugs across the country. Needing a bigger supply of drugs he travels to Columbia and meets Pablo Escobar Cliff Curtis. Before long George becomes the biggest trafficker of cocaine in the United States. In BLOW director Ted Demme and scriptwriters Nick Cassevetes and David McKenna chart George's strange course into a world of girls and sun drugs and fun. It's all so easy until events change George's life forever. Depp gives one of his best performances as George instilling the character with a complicated mixture of emotions. For the supporting roles Demme's eccentric casting includes German actress Franka Potente as George's girlfriend; Spanish actress Penlope Cruz as his wife; Australian actress Rachel Griffiths who in real life is five years younger than Depp as his withering mother; and Paul Reubens in an excellent performance as a hairdresser-cum-dr ug dealer.
