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.

Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told.

Johnny Depp stars and, despite some pretty awful makeup, nails his performance as George Jung.

Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
A worthy companion to Traffic, which isn't all it's cracked up to be, either.

...so kicky and exuberant, you'll find yourself ignoring how fundamentally botched it is. It's a mess, but a glorious mess.

Con un argumento inteligente y buenas actuaciones, es uno de esos filmes altamente recomendables que nadie debe dejar de ver.

The first two-thirds of the film fuse together the high-impact operatics of director Brian DePalma's "Scarface" and the in-your-face style of "GoodFellas"...

Não posso negar que Profissão de Risco é bem-sucedido: seu protagonista desperta simpatia. Isso é motivo de orgulho? Duvido muito.

While "Blow" certainly has its moments of greatness, it tries too hard to sell us a product we would have bought had they not pushed it too hard.

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.
