George Jung (Johnny Depp) doesn't want to live like his father (Ray Liotta)--always short of money, and always berated by his mother. So, he sets off for California, to live on the beach. George finds he can make a living selling drugs. One day he learns he could make more money by shipping drugs across the country. So, he does. Needing a bigger supply of drugs, he goes to Columbia, finds his way to Medellin, and meets Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis). George stumbles into becoming the biggest trafficker of cocaine in the U.S.
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

Don't let the title fool you ( IT'S NOT A PORNO!). This is the true story of Americas biggest drug importer George Jung ( JOHNNY DEPP) from the hippy innocence of the 60's to the 80's as he persued the American dream.
This film has the energy of Boogey Nights and has so much Cocaine snorting it would impress Scarface.
Depp as usual is excellent and compelling, and Penelope Cruze is engrossing as his drug addict wife. The overall effect of the film is compelling and completely gripping.
A great story that is very well told, with slick direction.
This film will blow you away!
This is deffinatly one of the best gangsta/drugs film of all time and what makes it better is its based on a true story.Good story how they start off with nufink and then there drug empire rises and the acting is great in it very good role played by jonny depp.
I'm clearly the minority here. I've just watched this movie all the way through and I couldn't see any point in it. Why was it made? Where is the plot, where is the drama? There wasn't even any action. It is about somebody who had nothing going for him and found himself at the heart of the drugs trade. George Jung, as portrayed, was a one-dimensional character, just like his mother and his wife. He made a lot of money and he lost it and ended up in jail. So don't trade drugs folks! Otherwise, so what? Not even Johnny Depp or Penelope Cruz could inject their flat roles with any interest. Maybe a film about the cops on his case might have been more interesting. The film, like the main character, was a wash-out.
I bought this out of impulse a while ago because of the actors on the cover didn't really expect much as I hadn't heard of the film. But I can honestly say that this is one really great film! Johnny Depp did a really awesome job of being george jung. I reccommend it, it's a good watch.
