(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 61% Fresh Page   1   3/5 "Tiene una edición maravillosa, la fotografía es notable y la dirección bien lograda."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 3/5 "It feels endless, and ultimately it becomes less an adventure story and instead a whiny melodrama."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null A- "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."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/4 "What works best in "Blow" is how well the cast embodies the characters, and how elaborately the plot uses them."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "The biggest problem with Blow is that Jung is such a complete moron."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "The movie plays it real safe, as the only users the audience sees are the flashy Hollywood types that no one cares about."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "A mature, emotionally resounding film that could have easily been released in December and garnered several Oscar nominations."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B+ "Often wryly, ironically funny as well as achingly tragic."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Like the idea of different actors putting on a production of a classic play, Blow succeeds where it needs to. "   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "Well-made and entertaining, exhibiting none of the depressing, reverential passivity that often mars biopics."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C- "A surprisingly flat and pedestrian treatment of a potentially intriguing story."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "The movie boasts an uncommon level of intelligence to go along with the fine craftsmanship."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "an aspiring epic that is much like George Jung himself, who admits in a voice-over narration near the end that his aspirations were greater than his talent."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2.5/4 "The climax is a paean to the cheesy melodrama."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 4/10 "I was wondering how I would feel about [Jung] at the end of the movie. My answer was this: I felt indifferent."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Well made and engaging."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "Kudos to Ted Demme for taking the material and turning into an entertaining and touching vehicle."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 5/10 "Does the movie make us care? Not really, which is the movie's basic problem."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Con un argumento inteligente y buenas actuaciones, es uno de esos filmes altamente recomendables que nadie debe dejar de ver."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/5 "The last half of the movie blew."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel B "While it's tough to buy Jung as such a nice guy when he runs with hardcore, murdering drug traffickers, Johnny Depp proves to be one heck of a salesman."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "The ending is a heartbreaker, pure and simple."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "The story here is intriguing, but there is something hinted at in between the plot that really struck me."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "A film has to try much harder to get me to pity who's wallowing in a bed of his own making."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Shoots itself in the foot with one wrongheaded turn."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2.5/5 "All I have to say is, poor Georgie."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/5 "Não posso negar que Profissão de Risco é bem-sucedido: seu protagonista desperta simpatia. Isso é motivo de orgulho? Duvido muito."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3/4 "Jung is portrayed very sympathetically in the story, maybe to a fault."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 8/10 "This chilling, disturbing, coke-drenched caper gets under your skin in its assertion that there's simply no way to stop the importation of drugs into this country."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger D+ Read review   Flipside Movie Emporium   Jeremiah Kipp 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito B Read review   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford Read review   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N.
