Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

rotten:
A mediocre biopic.
– Edward Guthmann,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
Blow fades a bit in its second half, weighed down by a need to closely follow Jung's life. But even then, the actors are so compelling that it's just a mild discomfort.
– John Zebrowski,
Seattle Times,
6 Apr 2001
rotten:
An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.
– David Edelstein,

Blow can't sustain the high.
