Review of The Rum Diary (2011) by Josh L — 14 Sep 2015
Absolutely loved its vivid recreation of 1960's Puerto Rico. The movie is all kinds of gorgeous and the actors do a good job with what they are given, but the story is half-baked and doesn't gel together well at all.
It's interesting in the beginning when everything is being introduced and you are as intoxicated as the characters just from looking at the scenery, but the beauty is only skin deep with this one.
It's entertaining to watch Depp go crazy and it has some funny parts, but the movie is too long and about half way through I was left wondering where the movie could go from there. Turns out it didn't really go anywhere.
