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.
I was fortunate enough to get passes to attend an advance screening of Blow and attend this great new film free of charge. I have taken some...

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.?
The same cannot be said about the movie. There?s plenty of ambition here, but also oodles of talent. Blow has style, flash, momentum and?the cherry on top...

Boogie Nights of Cocaine
Blow tests our feelings about crime and its portrayal in Hollywood. In most movies and TV shows, Criminals are Evil and the movie doesn't rest until the Criminals are Blown Away. The characters are one-sided, allowing us, the viewers, to come away from the movie feeling better about ourselves,... Read full review »
Full Circle: Blow
Riddle:
Q. When is an action movie not an action movie?
A. When it's a love and redemption story.
Not knowing for sure what was intended for this movie,
I supposed it would be an action film. Based on a true
story with book by Bruce Porter, this film is almost a

I Once Tried Coke, but the Ice Cubes Got Stuck Up My Nose
I have a confession to make: Johnny Depp is rad. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and From Hell are two of my favorite movies, but you can now add Blow to that list because it's a damn good movie that deserves attention.
A good friend of mine told me that Blow was one of his favorite flicks...

Ted Demme's -Blow-2001
This movie is a more or less abbreviated tale of how George Jung, now in prison, exported a great deal of Cocaine into the United States. That it is a cautionary tale you should have no doubt. That it is interesting and for the most part well acted, is also not a question in my mind. It is only the... Read full review »
Blow Baby Blow!
When you combine Johnny Depp, Crazy amounts of Cocaine, Penelope Cruz, and some Colombians, you are guaranteed one great tale of drugs, sex and fall from grace. Blow just blew me away!

BLOW-THE REAL THING WITH A FLAW
It's been five days since I saw "Blow" and I've had a hard time figuring out what I thought about the movie. I went with by best friend and he and I agreed that the movie was better than "Traffic" for a couple of reasons: it concentrated on the story of one man instead of
shotgunning through...

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.
