Seattle Post intelligencer said that it is not as good as Goodfellas which was an inspiration for Blow. It gives a good summary and explains what is happening in the movie without revealing anything too big. The directing is seen as alright and there are some parts in the script that have problems like leaving out what happens to some major characters. The review done by the website village voice gives a little too much of what will happen in the end of the movie. They said it wasn’t as good as they hoped for. It is better played than it is directed, and better shot than it is scripted. Most reviews thought it was good and only a few disliked it. They all say it wants to be like Goodfellas but it is not. They all start with a summary of the movie then onto how the directing and acting was. Acting seemed to be better than the directing.
“Scorches the screen with a badass bravado all its own. Smart, sexy, funny and dangerous this high-wire act is a movie and a half. “
“Blew its chance to be an epic drug opera. It’s only nostril-deep.” “Blow works for a scene or two, then stalls.”
