Summary: Will "Blow" you away
Review: I just saw this movie last night when it was aired on television. I was really amazed by how incredible the movie was. The movie tells the life of George Jung who took a vow when he was a little boy to never be poor and in his adult maybe took that a little too far. When George grew up he moved to California where he was first introduced to marijuana, and started dealing that. He was later introduced to cocaine and became the biggest drug lord this country has ever seen- he mentions in the movie that if you snorted coke in the late 70's there was an 85% chance you snorted his coke. Anyway the movie tells the story of his life with that. Johnny Depp gave an unbelievable performance as he always does and the script has the right combination of heartfelt moments, drama and humor for a film like this.
I also think that this film is so great because it shows what the drug life is really like. Sure George made 3 million dollars everytime he brough cocaine across the border but look at him at the end of the movie.
(and girls- if it turns out that you dont like it, which i doubt will happen, you can just stare at johnny depp the entire time)

Summary: Excellent
Review: This true story was so richly done and the acting was terrific! At the end of it, you're actually feeling bad for the main character. Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz gave outstanding performances. It really takes you inside the world of drug lords and drug dealers. Somehow you end up with compassion for this person and feel sad at how things turned out for him. It was really a great film and one I would recommend.

Summary: "Money is not real"
Review: I was drawn to watch this film for two reasons, number one being I had seen a documentary about Pablo Escobar and number two being that I admire Johnny Depp's work and art at portraying different, complicated characters. Depp does an excellent job at capturing the story of a man driven to succeed, but who choses the wrong path, which in the end leads to his destruction. He only comes to grips with the advice his father gave him early on in life that "money is not real"...and comes to realize too late that what really matters in his life-he has destroyed by his own hand.Sad study on the universal law, that one reaps what one sows. This film is well worth the view.

Summary: Blow
Review: Johnny Depp posesses an eclecticism and versatility so effortless that it's almost scary. His riveting turn as Cocaine Traffiker George Jung is one of many reasons to see this movie. The story of how he rises to the top of the drug game starting in the late 60's is told in a very clear, direct and colorful manner with great support from Ray Liotta, Paul Reubens, Franka Potente and Penelope Cruz. While the ending still seems a bit too cloying for me, nearly every frame leading up to the climax is American Cinema at it's best. Of Special Note: the costume design covering 3 decades of fashion, including the outlandish 70's is note perfect and easily adds to the texture and realism of the film without seeming cartoonish or flagrant. Give "Blow" a look, it's vastly entertaining.

Review: I am normally much longer winded on this sort of thing, but I have not the effort. This is my favorite movie I have seen and it is one done in a way to entertain even those not jaded in the drug scene. Both sides are shown in a way that may open the mind of the judgemental person to be more accepting while provoking someone on a similar road to make wiser choices (while not condemning the behavior). Blow truely touched me as very few (if any) movies have. Promises

Summary: Excellent!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie was excellent! Even though I was not alive during this time period of George Jung's peak of sucess I feel as if i could tell anyone who asks about the Coloumbian- American drug trade or at least the George Jung part. the most interesting fact about the movie is that in the 80's if you bought cocaine there was an 85% chance that it came from George Jung and Derek Foreel.-i think that is how u spell it. this movie is such a good movie but if i saw this movie 2 years ago when i was 13 i would never of understood many instances of the movie. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT YOU CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

Summary: Blow
Review: Blow, a Film directed by Ted Demme premiered in 2001 in all theaters. The movie staring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz who are both great actors made this movie a success. This movie was based on a true-life story of George Jung and how he became successful over night.
George Jung was a notorious drug dealer in America. In fact George makes connections with drug lord Pablo Esbar. Esbar was a Columbia drug lord, he is said to be the most dangerous drug dealer ever. George and Esbar are both millionaires when it came to the drug game.
The movie talks about George at a younger age. Georges' father had his own successful construction company. When business was slow for his father, Georges' dad filed for bankruptcy. George Jung at that point decided as a young child, that he always wanted to have money.
George Jung started selling Pot which later turn into him selling Cocaine. He transported Cocaine from Columbia to Holly Wood, California. Blow is a interesting an educational movie. What I mean by educational is it shows you ups and downs of the drug game. The most interesting thing about this movie is trying to figure out weather or not, if George would get caught by the law from selling drugs.
If you haven't seen this film on DVD then now is the time to see it. I gave Blow two thumbs up and so will you.

Summary: Oddly good
Review: I am NOT a Depp fan at all. but this is a good movie. Perhaps b/c it is a true story. The relationship between father and son is the crux of the film. It really makes the movie. The actress who plays the mother, rachel griffins, really delivers here. She does a great job. This is touching, sad, endearing, and realistic.
