Plot: Following the life of cocaine-trafficking pioneer George Jung in a way that recalls Martin Scorsese's Casino, Blow recounts the man's days from his 1950s childhood in Boston to his downfall in the 1980s. George (played by Johnny Depp) begins his life as the son of Fred (Ray Liotta), an earnest breadwinner, and Ermine (Rachel Griffiths), who frequently walks out on them in pursuit of a more fulfilling life. When George moves west to California in the late '60s, accompanied by best pal Tuna (Ethan Suplee), he becomes an entrepreneur in the marijuana business, which soon spreads to the East Coast as well, with girlfriend Barbara (Franka Potente) smuggling the product during her stewardess shifts. George is arrested in 1972 -- at which time Barbara dies of cancer -- but George finds a new ally in Diego (Jordi Molla), who proposes the idea that he become the American conduit for Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis). George flourishes in the heyday of the disco era, and falls for Mirtha (Penelope Cruz), a self-serving bombshell who eventually has a daughter with him. Trouble escalates as the FBI threatens to bring George and his crew down, while he desperately tries to be a stable parent to his young offspring. Blow also features Paul Reubens and Max Perlich in featured roles. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

My husband and I purchases this BluRay because neither one of us had seen it, and it got great reviews. I'm so glad that we did! The BluRay transfer is awesome, so it was a beautiful picture. Also, the movie itself is very moving and entertaining!

I was expecting a Digital Copy with this Blu-ray?
Added 7/21/2009

Shouldn't the blu-ray come with a digital copy? or do they have different versions of this blu-ray? one a single disc and the other with digital copy included?

Great movie on the cocaine industry
Added 6/26/2009

This was one of the best performances I have seen by Johnny Depp. It showed the in depth view of the cocaine industry and just how powerful the King of Coke really was (Escobar). I'm really surprised that George Jung didn't get sent to prison more often. All in all I would recommend this movie to anyone that wanted to know more about not only the cocaine industry but the life and wild times of George Jung.
