YesAsia Editorial Description
George Jung (Johnny Depp) doesn't want to live like his father (Ray Liotta)--always short of money and constantly berated by his mother (Rachel Griffiths). So he sets off for California to live on the beach, where he finds he can make a living selling drugs. Soon George's drug dealing business expands into shipping drugs across the country. Needing a bigger supply of drugs, he travels to Columbia and meets Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis). Before long, George becomes the biggest trafficker of cocaine in the United States. In BLOW, director Ted Demme and scriptwriters Nick Cassevetes and David McKenna chart George's strange course into a world of girls and sun, drugs and fun. It's all so easy until events change George's life forever.
Depp gives one of his best performances as George, instilling the character with a complicated mixture of emotions. For the supporting roles, Demme's eccentric casting includes German actress Franka Potente as George's girlfriend; Spanish actress Penélope Cruz as his wife; Australian actress Rachel Griffiths (who in real life is five years younger than Depp) as his withering mother; and Paul Reubens (in an excellent performance) as a hairdresser-cum-drug dealer.
"...Intriguing....Depp's physical transformation is chilling. It's a fearless performance shorn of all movie-star vanity, and Jung emerges as a striking individual..."
- Stephen, Farber (Movieline Critic), Movieline's Hollywood Life, 04/01/2001
"...Buoyant and flavorful....[With] impressive widescreen lensing..."
- Dennis, Harvey (Variety Critic), Variety, 03/19/2001
"...[Depp's] witty, spare performance gives the picture a poignancy....Mr. Demme's storytelling is quick and engaging..."
- A. O., Scott (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 04/06/2001
"...Smart, sexy, funny and dangerous, this high-wire act is a movie and a half..."
- Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 04/12/2001
"...Clickety-clack pacing and inventive supporting casting....Consistently compelling..." - Mike, Clark (Jazz musician), USA Today, 04/06/2001
"...[Demme] capitalizes on his strongest assets: a knack for comedy and an ambitious taste for scale..." - Leslie, Felperin (Film Critic), Sight and Sound, 06/01/2001
"...Vigorous direction and attention to detail....Uniformly excellent performances....Depp provides a remarkably supple performance in the lead role..."
- Marjorie, Baumgarten (Hollywood Reporter Critic), Hollywood Reporter, 03/20/2001

factually accruate and entertaining
| This move accurately depicts the 70's in the USA, the lifestyles, the language and the attitudes. It shows how real life criminals would handle their affairs, with so much cash that it had to be weighed rather than counted, the double-crosses, how the prisons were criminal school 101, and how greed corrupted normal people from good but modest backgrounds and forced them into dangerour and ultimately fatal lifestyles. Supposed to be based on a true story. |
