THE RUM DIARY (2011)
BRUCE ROBINSON
Plot
Nat Jester says: "Based on a Hunter S. Thompson novel, this film was rather disappointing, despite the strong cast featuring Johnny Depp and Aaron Eckhart. Frankly, not much happens in this film, and the dialogue is not strong enough to carry it, although Depp is fairly enjoyable in a drunken, Jack Sparrow sort of way (but not nearly as good). The most interesting character in the film is Moberg, played by Giovanni Ribisi, a drunken reporter whom no one seems able to fire. 1/5" (caveat:2 of the Flicks staff really liked this movie...)
