The Rum Diary
The herd like tendencies of film critics are well documented.
The current view of the herd is that Johnny Depp is vulgar and overrated and the Rum Diary must consequently be given a pasting. Don't go if you're secretly expecting the secret of life (although any work of art that revolves around a man who said "Drugs,violence and alchohol aren't for everyone but they have certainly worked for me" is okay in my book) Its a road movie without a road and pretty accurately depicts the clapped out tropical sh1t hole that the U.S were turning Puerto Rico into fifty years ago. It is very very funny.Criticised for being a little slow the screenplay seems fine to me and Depp can actually act.Great supporting cast and lush cinematography also help |
