My pick for best line in the movie delivered by a fat-cat American business man and crook ready to make a killing in Puerto Rican real estate in 1960.
Depp conveyed a rather shallow Hunter Thompson is the film that was seriously lacking in purpose. As with other Hunter Thompson movies it's all about atmosphere of being crazy and messed up on alcohol and drugs. There are a few cute one-liners but we saw those in the trailer.
I would like to say this film could have been something but I just don't see it. Aaron Eckhardt and Amber Heard only served to add character and pretty up the scenery a bit but not much else.
Too bad HT has never been served well by Hollywood.
Not recommended.
