The Rum Diary (2011) - BAD MOVIE
OK, I understand that for die-hard Johnny Depp fans, this is probably
something they have looked forward to and can enjoy. While I enjoy the
actor's performance in general, the movie as a whole is very, very
disappointing.
If
not true to it's title, it seems like whoever wrote the script or the
book it was based on in a drunken stupor, going from one "adventure"
into the next and shambling and swaying through it. There is no real
binding plot, no "larger picture" that is interesting enough to be
captivating, and it seems tied together with a far-fetched, almost
haphazard thread to try and give it some semblance of coherence.
Overall, this
story rings a bit hollow and there are just too many missing pieces and
too many holes.
