Avis sur le produitBlow (DVD, 2001)

Blow-DVD

Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ninth Gate, Finding
Neverland, Donnie Brasco, etc) turns in a really good performance
as the real life coke smuggler George Jung, who rises from poverty
to become one of the biggest drug dealers in America before his
eventual downfall. Penelope Cruz (G-Force, Volver, Sahara, Gothika,
etc) co-stars as Georges lover and wife. The movie is based on
the 1993 book BLOW: How a Small Town Boy Made $100 Million with
the Medellin Cocaine Cartel and Lost it All!. Director Ted Demme
has had several hits in his career (The Ref, Life, A Decade Under
the Influence, etc) however, this by far is the best movie he has
directed in the last 15 years. A good movie for drama lovers and
will be enjoyed by some suspense movie lovers as you try to figure
out what Georges next move will be to make money or move coke. Good
for a full night of entertainment-especially if you like Johnny Depp
as this is really a great acting job by him. Cruz does a really good
supporting job also.Lire l'avis complet...

Johnny Depp plays a Drug Lord

George Jung (Johnny Depp) lives on a California Beach selling drugs. When his drug dealing booms he begins cross country shipping of them. After meeting with drug cartel Pablo Escobar in Columbia, in order to get the high volume of drugs his consumers demand, Jung is cocaine dealer number one is the US. Depp's characterization of Jung is one of his better ones because he has to portray such a complexity of Jung's emotions.

This film is based on reality and a documentary about Jung. Perhaps this sort of reality is not suitable for teens or children to watch at all. Or at the very least, without interactive parental supervision and dialogue. Blow's a good show because of the talented cast: especially Depp. But the story is not as engaging as I had hoped it might be. Thus, I found it rather dull, except for the character studies. I'd give the story a yawn.Lire l'avis complet...

Thank you

What a true story started out so innocent ignorance is bliss and shows the road people go down how their personalities change with greed and drugs yet George seemed to keep his center better than the rest. But he paid for it all!Lire l'avis complet...

Very good story. The actors were all very good and portrayed their characters well. Mr. Depp, as usual, brought his own unique style.

My DVD arrived in a very timely manner and in very good condition.

Oh those 70's and 80's! Miami Vice on Steriods!

One of my all-time favorite movies! The Money, the drugs, the parties! WOW I was reliving my youth in South Florida in the 70's when I saw this movie the first time. Johnny Depp does a great job in this movie. His mom was a real bitch. Looks like the family pattern repeats itself in the end. Too bad his friends turn on him. Gotta love those tree-top flyers though. They had balls, cash and excitement. You've got to have THIS movie in your collection if you don't already! Another movie that was good is a documentry called "Cocaine Cowboys". I recommend the following books too: "A Matter of Time", Smugglers Blues, 21st Century Pirate, and one of my favorites: "Smoke Screen". Hope they make a movie or TV series out of these books too. Better than Miami Vice from the tree-top flyer's prospective. It was a great time before it got to be all about cocaine. When it was just weed people had some ethics and not nearly the violence. In those days, sometimes the smuggler DID win and get away with it!Lire l'avis complet...

Movie stars Johnny Depp & Penelope Cruz

I absolutely love Johnny Depp and think he's a very talented actor. I love mostly all the movies he's done and this one was very good. He can play any character and go in depth with the role they portray. This movie tells you the true life story of a dealer and the consequences he has deal with being in that line of work. Very moving story. I have been very satisfied with all my purchases with Ebay, I would definitely recommend everyone using Ebay if they are making mutiple purchases. Thank you.Lire l'avis complet...

dissapointing!

I kept thinking the real part would start soon when I realized that was it. It was almost over. The two main actors did a good job but there was no pint. It just did not seem like a drug movie. I was bored through most of it. I guess you had to imagine a great part of the movie????Lire l'avis complet...
