Summary: Does Blow really blow ?
Review: This, I felt, was a good movie but it was hard to retract from the fact that George Jung was personally responsible for selling drugs in the US which is now responsible for millions of addictions and thousands of deaths. Having said all that, this was a great film to watch though it did surprise me somewhat. Basically, this movie is about a guy named George Jung who was the first american to smuggle cocaine into the US. It shows his life story from humble beginnings in dope selling to the high rolling stakes of cocaine smuggling. As to the reason why this filmed surprised me ? It is because I wasn't interested in the fact that cocaine had dealt the US with a major drug problem, rather the plight of George Jung himself ( and his parents ) and what he was like. At best, this movie portrayed George Jung as a humble kid who turned into a drug lord ( in which he deserved what he got ). Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and the two Aussie actors Cliff Curtis and Rachel Griffiths played their characters well enough for all of us to believe that George Jung was only trying to earn a living at what he did best: selling drugs. Look, I did like the movie and the characters but am a tad suspicious as to how an audience is to react to a movie like this ? At the end of the day I do have to admit that this was a very good movie. Overall, I'll give it a 3.5/5

Summary: It Blows!
Review: It's amazing to me that so many people liked this movie because I just don't get it..., so you know that the story is basically the rise and fall of a drug dealing fool. I found it hard to sympathize with George Jung's predicament because he's so completely responsible for it. Am I supposed to feel for a man who sold drugs? It's not like he was the man stealing bread to feed his family. Johnny Depp is a great actor, but I wonder how many of these horrible roles he's going to take on. Even with his charm, I could not bring myself to 1) like George as a character, or 2) like the movie. The story was pretty standard, something I've seen a dozen times before... only not as good. All you have to do nowadays is have a thin story, a nice soundtrack with old songs to reminisce by, and to set the time period, and a couple of montages, and your done. Oh, I hear Cream, then it must be the 60s! Wait, is that Wham? Must be the 80's! I suggest "Goodfellas" if you want to see a good movie on the criminal lifestyle. Blow is a retread of better movies... though some might call that an homage. Yea, right, an homage... that's what Blow wanted to be. (I'm being sarcastic) Better just pass this one by, unless your a uber Johnny Depp fan. And even then, he's made better movies than this... go get those instead.

Summary: Great movie, although strays from the truth
Review: Blow is a movie about George Jung, a man who transforms himself from a small time marijuana dealer to a big time cocaine dealer. At the peak of his power, George Jung estimates he was responsible for supplying 85% of America's cocaine demand. The movie traces George's life from his early childhood, through to his final incarceration at the OTIS Correctional Facility. The movie has an excellent cast with a very powerful performance by Johnny Depp. He successfully portrays both the fun loving, carefree George as well as the older, hardened, more serious George. Even though it is difficult to condone George's lifestyle choices, I think everyone can empathise with his desire to "take nothing...and turn it into something". Isn't that after all what we are all trying to do? The movie moves along at a fast pace and you are constantly kept on the edge of your seat. The one criticism I have of the movie is that at the end, it strays from the truth in an effort to romanticise George's life and his personal choices. I don't want to spoil things for anybody, but once you've seen the movie feel free to visit [website] to catch the truth on the ending of George Jung's saga. I can still thoroughly recommend this movie. It's not just a movie about drugs. I think George Jung's life contains many lessons which can benefit us all.

Summary: Great movie!
Review: I really liked this movie! They picked the perfect character for Pee Wee Herman to play. I thought the movie was really good except for the constant whinning of his mother! What about me???? What about me??? I't get's really old after awhile listening to her complain! Otherwise I thought it was a great movie! Johnny Depp was real convincing as a drug dealer. My suggestion by this movie!

Summary: Blow.
Review: This has got to be one of the best movies in a while. I have no idea why this was not nominated for anything at the Oscars. Everyone gives great performances. It was just a great movie, and I really enjoyed it. This film is based on a true story. George Jung was a man who made many huge mistakes in his life that cost him dearly. It is very sad to see his life gradually ruin. He is supposed to get out of jail in the year 2015, as the movie tells us just before the end credits roll. An anti-drug movie that surely does get it's message across. Highly Recommended.

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: Brilliant visual portrayal of George Jung's amazing life. Johnny Depp is great, Penelope Cruz hot and great, however the dark horse in this film is definitely Ray Liotta who plays the father. Makes any kid almost wish that if they had to choose anyone else to be their dad it would certainly be him!
Highly recommended

Summary: Blow Out!!!!!
Review: I like the movie Blow because it's about two friends who move to California in the mid-1970's. There they work with smugglers to establish the cocaine bussiness in America. I also like it because it's based on a true story and Johnny Depp stars in it.
