Blow - Thursday 27th June 2024

I really enjoyed Narcos on Netflix. It’s probably my favourite show on that platform. The fact that it was compelling, entertaining and based on true stories, was a winning combination.

I had never seen ‘Blow’, but I expected something similar. Nowhere near. I mean that I saw this film six months ago (at the time of writing) and can barely remember it speaks volumes.
It’s a vehicle for the actors, and although based on a true story, doesn’t really portray any of the characters with much depth. A glamourisation of drugs, drug users, and drug traffickers is what Hollywood does, and that’s cool (if you’re into that shiz), but do it with more panache.
I dunno. I remember not being impressed by the film, and I probably won’t be watching it again anytime soon.
