Review of The Rum Diary (2011) by Robyn M — 17 Jul 2012
"One part outrage. One part justice. Three parts rum. Mix well.".
"The Rum Diary" marks the second time that Johnny Depp has starred in a movie that was derived from the writing of Hunter S. Thompson. The first go around was the drug-induced adventure, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Viewers tuning into "The Rum Diary" to relive the bizarre entertainment".
Some funny moments and a few great insights of the central character's writing, but all the efforts by Johnny Depp and Bruce Robinson to make a round film fall flat, the story is not fluid, the tone rambles, the romance has zero chemistry, all the potential situations for hilarity fade away too soon.
