Blow

 

"Based on a true story." 

 

Hmm.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't get into this film. It started off quite good, with the main characters dealing some puff and generally being happy-go-lucky types. You quite like them.

 

Then one of them disappears and the other starts dealing coke. And - oh no! His life goes down the toilet!

 

Who gives a shit? He deals hard drugs, he deserves to shot at, dissed, and never see his wife or daughter again. No sympathy here, I'm afraid.

 

Jonny Depp does well as the lead, in fact all the acting is good (with the exception of the woman who plays his mother - you'd think she was in a porn film), and, interestingly, has offered to put the real-life drug dealer whom he portrays up in his house when he comes out of prison (in 2014).

 

But the film goes on forever, and glamorises the use and distribution of hard drugs. Bad bad bad bad bad.
