Rama’s SCREEN

That title might be over-exaggerated, we’d like to think that Leo is a great actor who doesn’t do that in real life, but you never know with these celebrities. The man who was Howard Hughes, a gangster in New York and a Boston undercover cop is now dealing drugs or it seems so because he’s agreed to take up Mark Wahlberg’s offer to join him in a remake movie based on the 2006 documentary film Cocaine Cowboys, it’s about the drug kingpin Jon Roberts and his empire which was infamous back in the 1970s.

What is bold is the statement reported on Page Six about this still-in-development project…

The untitled flick “will blow Blow out of the water,” says a movie insider who added that Leo “is excited about the opportunity to play the airplane pilot who travels with Mark’s character to obtain kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar.”

Blow is not a title for a porn movie, it was a movie starring Johnny Depp back in 2001 about drug kingpin George Jung who established drug empire in America back in the 1970s. It seems like that decade is the golden times for these kinds of people.
It adds to the feel good experience they got while listening to BeeGees at the same time.
I thought Blow was an intriguing movie, it wasn’t outstanding or anything, Johnny Depp certainly did an excellent job but it wasn’t one of his best performances.
I think if this Mark Wahlberg’s project is written right, and by that mean better than the disappointing American Gangster, I think it might have a chance to blow any previous drug movie out of the water.

But still, in my book, even though the character’s fictional…. the best drug kingpin movie ever is Scarface.
