About this movie

There's no money in a "real job." So George Jung deals pot. Lots of it. The blue-collar kid dubbed Boston George spirals up from there, into the riches and excesses of the huge cocaine cartels. And crashes hard. Johnny Depp portrays George, the ambitious outlaw who, perhaps more than any American, transformed powder cocaine from relative obscurity in the U.S. into a 1970s/80s feeding frenzy. Penelope Cruz costars in this riveting, fact-inspired tale of glitz and glamour, fast times and hard time, betrayal and Blow.

Johnny Depp wouldn't of been able to play this role in his earlier career. But since donnybrasco he's been real good at playing criminals & he's definitely 1 of the top 10 actors of his generation. But what's cool about this movie is that George Jung never snitched, at least in the movie he didn't, what's sad is his buddy "dooly" the stooly set him up at the end. But this is a really good movie.
