Genre: Crime/Drama
Starring: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Paul Reubens, Jordi Molla
All dope movies seem to be the same. Telling you not to dope and what happens when you do too much of dope. When you see Johnny Depp in the star cast, you know for sure that there is something very different in this movie. Based on a true life story of George Jung (Depp) a small time drug dealer, that later went on to become one of America's biggest cocaine dealer. His parents kept fighting with each other since there was no money in the family. He promised himself that such a day would never come in his life, hence he took the easy way and started selling dope on the streets of California with the help of a gay supplier Derek (Reubens). He went on to marry Martha (Cruz) but things never worked out for them due to his regular jail visits and his inability to give up the dope. The movie in the end focuses on family ties and relations and the miserable state George is now left in. The movie doesn't try beating around the bush, nor does it get too deep and psychological. Just keep it plain and simple.
Thumbs up: Johnny Depp and the entire star cast
Thumbs down: Johnny Depp's horrible hair style
Rating: 7.3/10
