Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Thanks for the memories!

Instant Favorite.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There is too much storytelling crammed into the running time that it skims over what would have been poignant moments in George Jung's life. A lot happens, but without much depth and insight, and to the point where the story feels disjointed in places. Delving deeper into some of the sub-stories with further character development could have lifted this film into something great. Instead, you are taken on a moderately entertaining ride but left without any real insight into who Jung was and with more interest in the sub-stories that this film only lightly touches upon. The direction and cinematography are not strong enough to hold up the film on entertainment value alone; it needed some soul.

You would never believe that the story of a drug lord could be so interesting but it is. While the film may not be 100% accurate it is a fairly good depiction of the life of George Jung.The story tells the tale of Jung's childhood, how his family became flat broke, how and why Jung decided that drugs was to be his way of life and Jung's rise to the top of drug world as well as his downfall.The movie has quite a bit of action, a good biographical story to tell, intense drama and a good casting. I enjoyed the film very much and do recommend it to not only fans of Johnny Depp but to those that are interested in biographical films and crime-dramas.8/10

I am ashamed to say that I had not watched this movie before, as from the poster, I thought "Blow" was some sort of boring love movie involving Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp. If only I had known! In any case, better late than never right? I mean, the movie is great. Depp plays this character that has a normal upbringing. He is raised by a caring father and a neurotic mother. Unfortunately, as an adult he gets involved in the drug business and he seems to be extremely good at it. While he obviously has some great years, leaving a lavish lifestyle, as it often happens, everything spirals down or him all of a sudden. Though, you cannot count blow as an amazingly unique movie (after all, there are many mafia/drug movies out there), I found it quite entertaining. In fact, it makes me want to see the latest Johny Depp flick (Black Mass) see if it just as good.

"You be what you want to be, you pursue to be good you be so, if you hold the path that takes you down then that's it, it's your pretty life, make a right decision before you had to repent for what you had done, coz life doesn't come with an eraser or a correction pen"'A normal young youthful guy finds some difficulties with some finance and finds a lateral path to gain some dollars and get involved in some mischievous task of smuggling illegal drugs and get into the world of dreadful white powder, entirely co incidental' this what you predict with all those young boys who got involved in some drug smuggling, but it's not in the case of 'George Jung', he entered the world of drug with intentional just by looking at its profitable side, he could had led a happy life without getting involved in such bad stuff but he entered, and the result is the name - 'Boston George', huge cocaine trader ever seen in US history, he begins with minor distribution of Marijuana on the bay of California but gradually his greed of earning lot dollars makes him to get involved in large scale drug smuggling, but he gets caught while smuggling nearly 600 pounds of marijuana in Chicago, though he get out from legal clutches he is again caught handed to federals by his mother itself during his visit to his early house in New England, he is sent to prison in Connecticut and there he hits the lottery of smuggling cocaine with his new friend Diego, he gets contact with some huge drug dealers and starts to smuggle huge amount of cocaine, meanwhile he gets married to a girl by name Mirtha and leads a happy life, his life changes after the birth of his daughter, he gets cheated by his friend Diego in the business and leave the drug business, but he is busted again in his birthday party and faces various issues like unstable family condition, he loses his money and become popper, after his release he tries to rebound the relation with his daughter and promises her to take to California with him, the place she had earlier wished to go, George again holds the path of smuggling drugs to make some money but he get busted and sent to imprisonment for nearly 60 years and thus breaking his promise to his daughter, he records a tape addressing his father that he repents for whatever he had done and realizes his mistake and now he got to know his words that 'money is not real', he sees his daughter who had come to visit him but it just get to be his imagination, thus the film ends up with a credit lines.Such a wonderful script had been neatly portrayed on the screen by the director Ted Demme, Johnny Deep is just outstanding with his performance he shows up with perfectionism, if you really want to know about notorious drug smuggler 'George Jung' then this movie is the better watch, great movie with great message.
