How can you choose between loyalty and passion. Sacrifices you have to make to fulfill your dreams.Good friends can balance everything.

This movie is supposedly based on a manuscript Johnny Depp found among his friend's (the late Hunter S. Thompson's) papers. Depp was instrumental in getting it published and now produced as a biopic drama on Thompson's brief stint in Puerto Rico. The filmmakers are reaching for something 'deep'; unfortunately, I found the story... mediocre. An admirable tribute from Depp, nothing special though. Filthy little Giovanni Ribisi was funny. Amber Heard is as gorgeous as that vintage 'Vette.

I love Johnny Depp. I respect his script choices and I love and respect Hunter S and find him to be a brilliant writer and a brilliant journalist. But sorry Johnny, as I see your name on the producers credit, this movie really kinda sucked. It was slow moving and not well rounded. The romanctic sideline had too much focus alloted to it and did nothing to advance the plot. I could not stay focused on it when given all the ingredients involved I should have loved it. Very disappointing.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie, enough to actually come here and comment. I'm glad Johnny Depp was the one who played the lead and all of the actors were wonderful in their parts. I haven't read the book yet, which is probably a good thing as it sounds as if the book is probably much better. I also really enjoyed the special features on the DVD showing how the movie came to be with Hunter himself involved in much of the process. Guess I'm not sure what people expected from it to have given it such low rating at this website. I found much of the dialogue very insightful. The ending wasn't fulfilling but that's probably more true to the book as to my understanding the book is about Hunter Thompson. I'd definitely recommend it, for an intro exposure to Puerto Rico during that time period, and USA American involvement in that country, corrupt business practices, etc. Great movie with a wonderful documentary attached

This is a dreadful movie - neither Johnny or the scenery can save it.

Just barely kept my interest. I was hoping for so much more.

This move is very slow...love Johnny Depp and can see why he left his wife for this bimbo. She is not a good actress either. Only a few funny parts. Really kinda boring. Have a different opinion of Depp now.

I finally broke down and rented this movie solely on the basis of it having Johnny Depp and Aaron Eckhart starring in it. Wow, this is one of the worst movies I think I've ever seen. I kid you not, these two really good actors must've needed some extra pocket change to agree to this embarrassment. I'm sincerely hoping that they WERE embarrassed once they actually finished making it. Truly ridiculous script, bad enough that it succeeded in making Johnny Depp look like a terrible actor. Aaron Eckhart was at least his charming self.

I finished this movie, because I was expecting more from the story. This is just a rum soaked romp through Puerto Rica. Not much of a story line.

Pretentious, self-important, and bloated. Not even mildly entertained. Skip this.
