A boy named George Jung grows up in a struggling family in the 1950's. His mother nags at her husband as he is trying to make a living for the family. It is finally revealed that George's father cannot make a living and the family goes bankrupt. George does not want the same thing to happen to him, and his friend Tuna, in the 1960's, suggests that he deal marijuana. He is a big hit in California in the 1960's, yet he goes to jail, where he finds out about the wonders of cocaine. As a result, when released, he gets rich by bringing cocaine to America.

15 years ago I picked this up from the dvd store and wondered if I had made the right choice in a movie. At the end of the movie I found it was the best choice I've ever made. Absolutely fantastic movie and a must watch. To this day, I still remember the ending and I can't help but think, "Wow!!!"

Superb movie, just goes to show that, often time, truth really is stranger than fiction. Based on a true story, this movie shows the rise and fall of one of the greatest cocaine traffickers in history. Johnny Depp was absolutely great, as was Penelope Cruz. (Kudos to Cruz for genuinely making you despise her character.) Although the movie is a bit dated, the story never will be, and truth be told, I absolutely loved seeing the old 60's and 70's clothes, cars, furnishings, etc. Can't say you'd ever want to watch this more than once but it's absolutely worth seeing at least once. Surprised to see that it didn't get really high marks...but not that surprised, since it exposed Hollywood as the drug-snorting above-the-law idiots they really are.

Amazing film. Surprised that it doesn't get the attention it deserves. Not enough people have seen it and that is a shame. Deserves to be talked about a lot more. Great performances by cruz and Depp. Highly recommended.

Great comedic take on the development of the drug market in the US with a brilliant Johnny Depp.

**_Blow: A Fascinating True Story_**

_Blow_ is based on a true story that many may not know about. Honestly, I didn’t know anything about the story until watching this film. The movie is fascinating and gives you a lot to think about. It’s very well-made and does a great job of keeping your attention. Even if you don’t know the true story behind it, the way it’s told is easy to follow and interesting.

Johnny Depp is amazing in this movie. He plays George Jung in a way that feels real and powerful. Depp shows both the charm and the struggles of Jung’s life, and his acting keeps you interested the whole time. You really feel like you’re watching Jung’s journey, and Depp’s performance is one of the best parts of the film.

The story is eye-opening and very intriguing. It shows what George Jung’s life was like, from his big successes to the problems he faced. The movie does a great job of telling this story so you can understand his life and the choices he made.

7️⃣/10⭐
An engaging movie with a compelling story and great acting. It’s both entertaining and informative, making it a good choice if you like movies based on true events. If you enjoy dramas about real people with strong performances, this is a movie you should definitely watch.
