Does the movie make us care? Not really, which is the movie's basic problem.
May 26, 2006
Johnny Depp stars and, despite some pretty awful makeup, nails his performance as George Jung.

Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told.
January 02, 2011
Uneven drug trade story has explicit drug use.
September 16, 2007
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 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.
April 06, 2001
Blow can't sustain the high.
April 06, 2001
Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.
April 06, 2001
Depp aside, the acting is almost uniformly atrocious -- although it's hard to make hay out of this dialogue.
April 06, 2001
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.
April 06, 2001
An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.
