Just like when I was first introduced to Trainspotting and Fear and Loathing a few years back, and having watched them both yesterday, I find myself watching more drug related movies.
Unlike the aforementioned films above, Blow is not a wild, uninhabited, vicious attack on the mind. But with that being said, it is also not a Scarface ripoff. Well, not entirely.
Based on a true story of George Jung [Johnny Depp], the man who established the American cocaine market in the 1970’s. Blow takes everything that George has lived through and shows you why he lived the way he did. From the sixties pot movement, to the cocaine blowout of the [late seventies] early eighties to the disturbing reality of this day and age.
Other notable actors: Ray Liotta, Jesse James & Paul Reubens
If you want to watch a film that tracks the whole life of someone who has literally been there and done that, then this film is for you.
My opinion: 4/5
Notes: Nothing.
