While Traffic was about the effects of using, Blow is about the effects of dealing. Johnny Depp is incredible - there are two fantastic tear-jerker sequences that he pulls of easily. The costumes and sets of the late 60's/early 70's are perfect - right down to the washed out film that makes the whole movie look like a shoebox of old Polaroids. There are some really fun times in the film, and of course, terrible times, too, but nothing as depressing as Traffic. The story is actually fascinating - you never think about how cocaine was brought to the US - it just seems like it was always here.
