Cocaine flick surprisingly addictive
By Christy Lemire The Associated Press
Blow-ing into theatres
At least Ted Demme had the deciency to thank Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson in the credits for Blow.
After all, the director pretty much steals directly from Goodfellas and Boogie Nights.
Blow is based on the true story of George Jung, the American connection to the Colombian cocaine cartel in the late 1970s and early '80s.
But it looks an awful lot like the stories of mobster Henry Hill and fictional porn star Dirk Diggle — magnetic, cocky men who reach dizzying heights, then through their own hubris, spiral out of control.
Comparisons to Goodfellas are even more obvious with Ray Liotta as one of its co-stars.
But that's a serious casting problem. Liotta's almost at his best as the father of Jung, who's played by Johnny Depp. But Liotta is 45, Depp 37. And even worse, Rachel Griffiths, who plays Jung's mother, is five years younger than Depp! You do the math — and try not to get distracted by attempts to show the passage of time through gray hair and makeup.
If you're going to pilfer, though, Goodfellas and Boogie Nights are great sources. Blow is consistently entertaining like those movies -- sensory overloads with their huge casts, inventive camerawork, driving rock 'n' roll soundtrack and polyester fashion fabulousness.
Where Blow goes astray is toward the end, depicting Jung's current situation — at a federal penitentiary until 2014 — with unnecessary mawkishness.
Until that happens, the film is like a drug itself. When the characters are flying high and drowning in cash, it's addictive to watch.
There's a great moment when Jung struts through a Miami airport dressed in a white polyester leisure suit, carrying millions of dollars in cash after a big coke sale. Walking in
Blow
A New Line Cinema release, is rated R for pervasive drug content and language, some violence and sexuality. Running time: 120 minutes.
slow motion, Depp turns this boy next-door drug dealer into a rock star.
Blow follows Jung from his childhood, growing up poor in Massachusetts, to his journey to Southern California. He starts selling pot on the beach in the late '60s and builds a bicoastal drug dealing empire with the help of his flight attendant girlfriend (Franka Potente), an effeminate hairdresser (Paul Reubens) and a buddy from back home (Max Perlich).
But when Jung gets caught with 660 pounds of pot at a Chicago airport, he gets thrown in prison. That's where he meets Diego Delgado (scene-stealer Jordi Molla) who teaches him how to smuggle cocaine.
Jung marries a gorgeous Colombian party girl (Penelope Cruz), the two have a daughter and revel in wretched excess. And though he tries to pull out of the business, the feds bring him down when he goes back for one last run.
But because Blow is coming out after Traffic and its four Academy Awards, after Requiem for a Dream and a handful of other movies with heavy drug themes in the past year, it could easily—pun intended—get blown away.
Call it the precursor to Traffic. This is what happened long before the war on drugs was waged in Washington conference rooms and Mexican badlands.
Johnny Depp stars in Blow, based on the true story of George Jung, the American connection to the Colombian cocaine cartel in the late 1970s and early 80s. Despite striking similarities to films like Good-fellas and Booie Nights, Blow is surprisingly entertaining. Contributed photo
