Blow
2001
**
Director: Ted Demme
Cast: Johnny Depp, Franka Potente, Penelope Cruz, Paul Reubens
A true-life story of a man who went from rags to riches to rags again when he introduced cocaine to the American masses in the 1970s and 1980s. Why we should give a damn about anything that happens to this man is a question the film fails to answer. Johnny Depp seems to concentrate on his numerous wacky hairdos and gives a rather forgettable performance. Penelope Cruz, on the other hand, is a travesty as his wife.
