Does the movie make us care? Not really, which is the movie's basic problem.
April 06, 2001
An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.

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.

Uneven drug trade story has explicit drug use.

Blow can't sustain the high.

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.
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.
May 26, 2006
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.
July 23, 2007
Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told.
April 06, 2001
A mediocre biopic.
