Depp Delivers A Knockout Performance in this Depressing Biopic!
13 September 2012
A Biopic about the American cocaine smuggler George Jung, 'Blow' directed by Ted Demme, showcases & salutes a talent named Johnny Depp. Depp Delivers A Knockout Performance as George Jung! Its a performance that deserves immense respect & admiration.

'Blow' is The story of George Jung, the man who established the American cocaine market in the 1970s.

'Blow' is a Depressing Biopic. Its certainly not meant for the faint-hearted. It requires courage & bravery to watch this story, that spells doom right from the very beginning. George Jung's ambition comes across clearly the moment he zeroes on Lucifer. Cinematically, he's a fascinating & disturbing protagonist, who gives inn smoothly. David McKenna & Nick Cassavetes's Screenplay is uninhibited & blunt. Ted Demme's Direction is top-notch. Cinematography & Editing are proper.

Depp is simply brilliant. His performance held my interest from beginning to end. Its an under-rated performance, that truly deserved more recognition. I am truly waiting to witness Depp winning an Academy-Award, not just because I am a huge fan, but also because Depp represents fine acting to the Modern-Era of Film. Here's an actor who makes acting look so effortless & groovy, that he inspires me.

On the whole, 'Blow' is a must see.
