Johnny Depp gives a spellbindingly naturalistic performance that puts a sympathetic face on a powerfully individualistic man unable to shake a world of crime that brought him immense riches and eventually cost him everything he caredabout.

Comes off like a flamboyant cartoon, another film about the deglamorization of glamorous people living it up in the glamorous world of drugs.

Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.

Uneven drug trade story has explicit drug use.

Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told.

An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.

Blow can't sustain the high.

A mediocre biopic.
