Summary: The life of George Jung
Review: Looking at the cover, I expected to see a bit more of Penelope Cruz; however, her role, although pivotal, was minor compared to Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp shows how the life and times of the convicted drug dealer George Jung aged and changed him.The typical movie about drug lords and dealers tend to be stark and violent. Even though this movie has its share of violence, the movie humanizes Jung to show depth and feeling. We see his motivations and concerns. Although we don't condone the behavior, we have a better insight into why this happens. The DVD has some interview footage with Jung to provide the viewer with some background information. I found this interesting, but Jung is not very animated, which can be expected from the long time spent in prison. I would recommend this movie.

Summary: Johnny Depp, the most underrated actor in Hollywood.
Review: It is immediately obvious that director Ted Demme was influenced by the Martin Scorsese masterpiece, "Goodfellas." There are so many scenes here that echo from that film that a less discerning eye may cry out, "Theivery!" Ray Liotta is here, as well, and is solid as Johnny Depp's forgiving father. The only major difference between the two films is that Martin Scorsese is more experiemental in his approach to filmmaking, while Ted Demme is still searching for his own, unique voice through the work of his peers. That is not to say that his work is inferior to most directors, it is excellent for the most part, but falls prey to simplicity and/or stealing from other influences. However, this is a very good film, and none of my criticism should diminish that fact. But this movie simply would not be the same without the under-appreciated presence of Johnny Depp. He has done such diverse, great work for so long in film that he has gone relatively unnoticed until "Pirates of the Carribean" made him a star, not to mention "The Sexiest Man Alive." I have been a fan of his for years, and I am never disappointed with anything he does. This is another superb performance, subtle and realistic, and what he does here is what all great actors do: they make you forget they are acting, and they become the character they portray. Johnny Depp does that in every one of his films that I've seen. This role is no exception. By the end of the film I was summarily impressed, once again.

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: ok.. ill tell you now that this is the best movie have have ever seen in my life. It would take one [heck] of an outstanding movie to beat this one. This is the only movie i can watch over and over and over again at any time, all my friends like it to. Johnny Depp plays the perfect role in this movie. Money/Sex/Drugs can either bring u happyness but in George Jungs case it really did him in at the end. Buy a copy of Blow I gaurentee you will be satisfied

Summary: great acting, but not engaging
Review: This movie went straight to video here, and although has an interesting storyline, the film jumps too quickly between periods to really pull you in. Johnny Depp was excellent, as was Rachel Griffith. Johnny Depp plays a real life cocaine dealer who eventually gets what he deserves. A movie that overall is quite boring to watch. Rent it.

Summary: "There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door"
Review: Johnny has done it again. I admit it, I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, I think I've seen all his movies, anyways, Blow is a very sad movie, not sad as in pathetic but sad as in emotionally sad, The character Johnny plays George Jung, small town boy, moves to California, stars dealing Marijuana and ends with Cocaine, I'm not one to sympathize for the lives of dealers but this movie just got to me, I guess it's because of the reason he did his last score, people who have watched the movie should know what I am talking about, for those have not seen the movies, do watch it. It is flawed but as always Johnny somehow makes me forget everything wrong with the film and just concentrate on him and his life. A very good movie, not something to watch with your 12 year old kids but good nonetheless.

Summary: Rip Off!
Review: I was VERY excited when Blow was made available for home viewing on DVD. I waited anxiously for it to arrive in my mailbox, and set aside the entire evening to watch it. Yet, I was quickly deflated upon viewing the movie. Apparently, "Blow" is also slang for cocaine. This is not made clear on the cover! Looking at Depp and Cruz' positioning, and the tag line "Smart, Sexy, and Dangerous," I justifiably expected something more than just cocaine! Shame on you New Line!

Summary: Far From Mind-Blowing
Review: Johnny Depp plays George Jung, a drug dealer who became responsible for a big part of the cocaine traffic in the US. This picture tells his life`s story, presenting the processes and changes he went through, living wild and risky experiences which didn`t seem to have a big purpose. Similar material has been shown in a more original, interesting way in some Martin Scorece`s movies, and director Ted Demme eveen creates a couple of scenes that bring the master to mind. However, "Blow" lacks a point, it`s never that engaging and doesn`t have great moments or sequences to deliver, becoming tiresome and too long. Also, it`s a movie that relies more in style (camera angles, soundtrack, clothes) than in substance, never developing its characters beyond two-dimensional figures that don`t make us care about their fate. Even Penélope Cruz, who plays Jung`s wife, doesn`t have much to do here apart from talking loud and looking sexy. The results are just average, offering a shade of what it could have been if handled properly. As it is, "Blow" is just a little sketch and not a big explosion as its title suggests.

Summary: With "BLOW", how can you go wrong?
Review: This is a very engaging movie and even though I have never done pot or cocaine, I am glad to see where it all leads to, that being behind bars, and it is a clear picture of what drugs do, they ruin peoples lives and cause a pathetic waste of humanity. The soundtrack totally Rocks as well!!! Johnny and Penelope do a great job acting like, well, scum sucking drug dealers and coke addicts, although very handsome drugies at that. So much eye candy. It's all good.

Summary: Depp is Supreme
Review: Rarely has one actor put on display such talent and nuance. Simply put, along with a handful of todays actors, Mr Depp shines brightest. Since there are so many reviews of " Blow" it is really senseless to add any more anecdotes, overviews or anything else but to say..Johnny Depp gives me a reason for going out to a movie..something I rarely do . Depp has it all... deliverey, Facial expressions, charisma , nuance and everything else that makes a great actor.I am just waiting for another film with Depp in it because I will have to travel to the theater and see it !! Bravo!

Summary: BLOW
Review: I rate this movie a 5 because of how johnny depp is able to catch the real person behind the preformance. He was able to portray George Jung with only the best of acting. also penelope was wonderful as she played the drug addicted wife with her fair share of crazy moments.
