Johnny Depp stars and, despite some pretty awful makeup, nails his performance as George Jung.

Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.

Blow can't sustain the high.
July 16, 2009
Johnny Depp gives a spellbindingly naturalistic performance that puts a sympathetic face on a powerfully individualistic man unable to shake a world of crime that brought him immense riches and eventually cost him everything he caredabout.

Blow fades a bit in its second half, weighed down by a need to closely follow Jung's life. But even then, the actors are so compelling that it's just a mild discomfort.

Does the movie make us care? Not really, which is the movie's basic problem.
April 06, 2001
Depp aside, the acting is almost uniformly atrocious -- although it's hard to make hay out of this dialogue.

Comes off like a flamboyant cartoon, another film about the deglamorization of glamorous people living it up in the glamorous world of drugs.
April 06, 2001
A mediocre biopic.
July 23, 2007
Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told.

Uneven drug trade story has explicit drug use.
April 06, 2001
An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.
