While I enjoy the movie, it isn't that great. Depp is okay, but the role wasn't particularly interesting. George Jung should be a fascinatingindividual, but he really isn't.

when did i say it was bad. i watched it when it came out and thought it was cool but its nothing to be excited about like people on here are. itsnot a great movie. its not a great performance. its an ok movie that gets glorified on here way too much.
 
I can understand if you don't like the movie. Not that you don't like Depp's performance. Dude KILLED that role. He killed it. That's not anopinion, that's a fact.

I have only heard things like this on NT. I always thought it was an okay movie, with a really good cast. Hell, it only has a 7.4 out of 10 onimdb
 
movie gets a 9/10 from me and thats from not enough detail, Depp played Jungs character great, i felt the whole vibe of the movie, when George hit rock bottomi felt him hit rock bottom.
 
the movie wasn't that bad, and i felt Depp did a great job with Jung (he tends to with most of his roles, anyways), but I felt Diego Delgado's (CarlosLehder) was the more fascinating character. i would've enjoyed the flick more if it had revolved around his story.

See, they did a poor job of making you feel sorry for him. Maybe that wasn't the intent of the movie, but if it was, they didn't do itvery well. He played the character with zero emotion, as if there was nothing he could do that would make the viewer care about him. In the end, it's justan idiot getting what he deserved, and there's nothing interesting about it.

I'm just going to ignore the stonefaces and respond to one of the only dudes in here trying to get somewhere...

I just do NOT see what's so great about what this guy did. What's an example of a great, intriguing character?

Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange.
Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the ****oo's Nest.
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

Johnny Depp in Blow did not do a terrible job, he just did not do well enough to warrant this OUTLANDISH claim:

no way, one of the best movies of all time
The film reminded me too much of Scarface and Goodfellas. We've all seen it before, a semi-clever bum who makes it to the top through crimeand crashes down.

Depp was a bore. Who cares about his coke ho's or his miscellaneous druggie friends? The only interaction that interested me was his parents and hisdaughter. All he did with his parents was barge in on their house and stare at them, and well he was just a crappy Dad (hint- maybe drug dealing is not for youafter going to jail twice and losing 60 mil)

He just comes off to me as an average role, not the all-star "crown him king" role that everyone thought (AFTER Pirates... when it became cool tojump on his nuts)

basically

read up about George Jung before you make an opinion.
I did read up on him immediately after watching, nothing special. Now do I have your permission to make an opinion?
 
If you want to see Johnny Depp playing a real person, much better than the George Jung in blow, go rent Tim Burton's Ed Wood. That is a fantasticperformance.
