Blow
“based on a true story”
Director
Ted Demme
Screenplay
David McKenna, Nick Cassavetes
A working-class kid from Massachusetts drifts west, discovers a talent for smuggling marijuana, and rides the appetites of the 1970s into a partnership with Pablo Escobar's Medellin cartel that floods America with cocaine. For a dizzying moment George Jung sits atop a billion-dollar empire, only to watch the money, the marriage and the friendships crumble as prison, betrayal and paranoia close in. Ted Demme charts the rise and ruin with a nostalgic, music-soaked sweep, and Johnny Depp anchors it with a portrait of a charming striver undone by his own excess. A cautionary American tragedy told at full throttle.
