Not since Scarface with Al Pacino has there been a film that captured the world of the drug lord as well as Blow. The style is reminiscent of Goodfellas with its character-driven narrative and snapshot photography. Taken from the real-life story of George Jung who is still serving a 30-year sentence for drug trafficking, Blow explores the evolution of cocaine as the drug of choice for the American elite. Ted Demme manages to give us an honest portrayal of Jung that does not glorify or justify his evil deeds. Yet, the film does manage to evoke some sympathy for the man. Johnny Depp and a terrific cast, including Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman) deliver in every scene.
