Blow

Though I had seen this movie a while ago, I thought it was good to write about it. As I am planning to read my own blogs when I retire - it would be useful to have a record of what movies I would want to see again...

Blow (starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz) is based on real life story of George Jung who commercialised cocaine in America in the 1970's. His operations were large scale enough to hire planes and professional pilots to bring in "stuff" from across the border. But all the money he made did not change one finality - it was illegal and the law eventually caught up with him. George is still in the prison and will be released in 2014.

*****+ This is probably Johnny Depp's best performance till date. A must-watch movie - a classic of our times.
