Blow
(2001)
Director: Ted Demme
Starring: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Paul Reubens, Ray Liotta
our comment. "Really nothing more than the story of a loser..."
Based on a true story, Blow chronicles the high-speed rise and fall of George Jung, who became the largest importer of Colombian cocaine to the United States, forever changing the face of drugs in America. Set in the decadent 70's and 80's, Blow traces George Jung's partnership with Pablo Escobar, one of the most infamous and dangerous drug lords in history.

Stylish, smart and hip, but to be honest the freeze frame of real-life George Jung during the credits really fucked up the over-all impression for me. Bad call, Ted!
