George Jung (Depp), the son of a poor blue collar worker vows never to be poor like his parents and starts trafficing marijuana to earn money. Realizing how lucrative a career it is, he starts mass dealings, working out of Mexico and California. He finds both success and imprisonment in these trades. In jail, George meets a man who introduces him to cocaine, and George becomes responsible for 85% of the cocaine supply in the 1970s. He marries (Cruz) and has a daughter, but to continue his lavish lifestyle, continues to deal cocaine until he is betrayed by a friend. This costs George his family and his freedom.

Well directed by the late Ted Demme, the film is compelling and absorbing as it recounts George Jung's incredible odyssey in the drug trade, tracking the rise of the cocaine industry in the United States, attendant with all its violence. Johnny Depp, in the role of George Jung, makes him into a likable guy who has bitten off more than he can chew, with ultimately dire results. His is a search for the American Dream, a dream that forever remains elusive.

This is the story about a young man who, faced with choices in his life, made the wrong ones and lived to regret it. Johnny Depp captures the pathos of Jung's wasted life. That his characterization is dead on is brought home by Ted Demme's wonderful interview of the real George Jung. This interview is one of the numerous bonus features on this DVD and is well worth watching. It is a poignant interview, as it underscores that Jung's was a life wasted. It also serves to illustrate just how remarkable Depp's characterization of Jung really is. All in all, this is a vibrant, informative, and entertaining film.

The greatest drug dealer of all time goes to the next level. Telling the story about a famous drug lord, it shows from how he began and where he end up. From killing and having children, the life he has will change forever. Around the globe he deals with plenty drug lords, but probably jealousy will lead him to his death.

A high-velocity look at George Jung's (Depp) spectacular rise and fall -- based on the true story of how powder cocaine turned into America's biggest drug problem and how one man from the blue-collar suburbs became the 35 billion-dollar a-year conduit to the Colombian cartels. Ted Demme directs this riveting look at the manic allure -- and dangerous reality -- of a drug smuggler's everyday life, and unfolds one of the great untold stories from the recent annals of American crime and culture.
