 Re: The Rum Diary
The Rum Diary
I really hate these types of films. They just glamourise alcohol and drugs, and are really lazily made with no real plot at all. It's just one man's drunken holiday in Puerto Rico. Depp plays the same person he plays in all movies, a drunk, startled, weird man. He was really bad in it. He's a really bad actor, and the film wouldn't have missed his presence in the slightest.
Aaron Eckhart was good, as was the brilliant Richard Jenkins, who basically carried this movie, and if he wasn't there it would be total shite. He had the best lines and they were delivered with great comic timing. Amber Heard was pointless. The direction of this film was shockingly bad and the sound was awful. This is just as bad as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, in my opinion. Johnny Depp getting drunk and not doing much. The only thing that changed was the location.
