Summary: Manipulative garbage
Review: This is a manipulative film that tries to make the audience feel sorry for the coke-dealing main character. True story or not, it is hard to generate any sympathy for a man totally bankrupt of any personnal responsibility for his criminal actions. Lets face it, Johnny Depp is way overrated as an actor and the late Ted Demme's "I'm-trying-so-hard-to-be-significant" direction is tedious.

Summary: Great overall flick

Summary: Boring...
Review: Don't get trapped! This movie is way over rated here at Amazon! Thank God I didn't buy this movie!Everything was terrible:
1. Boring story. Yes it is a true story but it doesn't deserve to be written in the first place! Why did they make a movie of it?
2. You'll never sympathize or get attached to any character! (lack of emotions).
3. Weak dialogue!
4. Zero suspense and surprises! The bottom line is don't fall into this trap! It is boring, boring, boring! Even the (Infinifilm Edition) DVD is not worth it!

Summary: Blow Blew
Review: Uninvolving and trite. Johnny Depp is a truly gifted actor, and it is sad that he was pulled into this fiasco of a movie. The major and glaring flaw that I saw in this film was that we were never able to empathize with the main characters... any of them. They all pretty much got what they deserved from beginning to end, and you were actually glad to see the main character losing everything. Scarface, Chopper, Silence of the Lambs, The Godfather... these are all films that had nasty protagonists that you could feel something for. I kept finding myself watching the timer on my DVD player... counting down the minutes until Blow would go away. Thankfully, it did.

Summary: Yes it does BLOW!
Review: This movie is the worst of it's type to date. More a series of classic rock music videos strung together than anything else, It never pulls you into the world it is trying to create. Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, even Godfather III. Make this a film I think Johnny Depp should probably try and buy all copies and burn. Get the soundtrack instead. Long and boring non-involving, bad acting and bad wigs make this truly unwatchable.

Summary: I AM BLOWN AWAY!
Review: This movie wasn't really even that well known when released into theaters. Blow was out of the limelight of Traffic, another drug movie which happens to be horrible. Blow's script is much more realistic, something that cn be related to. It's all about a drug dealer's journey to wealth through the game. But I must say that this is one of the best, most interesting movies out there now. If you do any type of drug, you will be guaranteed to like this movie. If you don't, then you must be high!

Summary: Heavy handed
Review: While the acting, directing, and general storytelling was solid, I thought the movie was little more than a heavy-handed morality play disguised as a self-indulgant biographical exposÉ. Truth is, I just didn't find the characters interesting or sympathetic and the ending made me groan. They probably got funding from the US government to present the anti-drug moral lesson.

Summary: Depp is a really great actor
Review: The range of characters he portrays is both broad and diverse. And with each one he brings sincerity and believability. Here he portrays real life drug smuggler George Jung. Jung is a pretty typical product of a middle class upbringing. He dreams of California, girls, and the good life. Unfortunately, like too many of todays youth, he's lazy but obviously very intelligent. He seizes on multiple opportunities and builds the largest cocaine smuggling operation (for it's time) in the U.S. But as ye sow so shall ye reap. Life is grand, for a time, before it all starts to unravel. And the fall is hard. And as great as all the performances were, the film was so predictable that it lost something in the process. But we are certainly privy to see the ill effects of participation in the drug trade and of drug use in particular. The good life may not necessarily be as good as it seems. There's a cost for everything. But certainly enjoyable to watch if not necessarily a film warranting a purchase.

Summary: Dead On!
Review: The movie is a 'blow you away' adaptation of Bruce Porter's book. It drives home George Jung's rise and fall, and how in-the-home conflicts during one's upbringing can influence your view of the world and where within it you belong - in this case, George kept wanting more and more despite the risks. Johnnie Depp and Penelope Cruz literally BECOME the Jungs. More references to Cape Code where a lot of the story takes place would have been nice. It's an incredible roller coaster ride!!
