Jonny Depp does an awesome job a bringing Hunter S. Thompson's world to the screen. A spiralling story that is a credible follow-up to Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

User review rating: 2 November 06, 2011

This was actually quite boring. The trailer had all the good parts. Bad, not due to the performances but due to the story itself. I wouldn't recommend it. I was pretty disappointed.

User review rating: 4 November 06, 2011

Some -parts of this movie really made me laugh.

User review rating: 4 November 05, 2011

love johnny dept.

User review rating: 1 November 04, 2011

This movie was incredibly boring - I wanted to leave after the first 10 minutes, but I went with someone else. I wouldn't even recommend it for a rental. You keep thinking the plot is going to develop, and it never does, so you're wondering for the whole movie "where is this going????" It goes nowhere. I do not recommend this movie at all.

great acting from Johnny! very different movie

User review rating: 4 November 03, 2011

This movie would be a lot better if you went to see it drunk or stoned... Not a bad movie when you are sober either. alittle draggy in parts

User review rating: 4 November 03, 2011

Love the setting of the movie.

User review rating: 3 November 03, 2011

I was expecting more! Love johnny will continue to see his movies!

User review rating: 4 November 03, 2011

Arty but what do you expect from Johnny Depp? He's dreamy and the movie was still good.

User review rating: 0 November 02, 2011

One word, Depp. That's all you need to know to see the movie lol.

User review rating: 3 November 02, 2011

Johnny Depp was great, but it was a weird story that ended in a weird way.

User review rating: 4 November 02, 2011

Lots of rum drinking, but very entertaining.

User review rating: 2 November 02, 2011

Boring, anticlimactic, ending just when you think something may actually happen. characters are inconsistent and unlikeable. i feel like johnny is not happy right now. what a waste of a brilliant talent.

User review rating: 5 November 02, 2011

It's like a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but in Puerto Rico! Johnny Depp is brilliant in this role.

User review rating: 2 November 01, 2011

whatever the diary is about, it's not worth your $7.50. Story was pointless

User review rating: 4 November 01, 2011

Do not know how true to form the movie was, but is very entertaining.

Johnny Depp as Hunter S Thompson. less wild and crazy

User review rating: 4 October 31, 2011

Loved the interesting characters in the movie.

User review rating: 4 October 31, 2011

Johnny Depp as Hunter Thompson again not quite as wild a ride but still entertaining

User review rating: 3 October 31, 2011

Not bad, a bit slow in the beginning but worth it for Depp's expressions

User review rating: 3 October 31, 2011

This movie is DIFFERENT. Haven't seen any productiion quite like it, ever frankly. It's good but not great. It's quirky for sure. I have to say it was interesting and the message was very clear.

User review rating: 2 October 30, 2011

Johnny, Johnny, you're losing your credit as a great actor. Your movie died without those cherry lips Too much drinking and smoking. Disappointing ending

User review rating: 4 October 30, 2011

This is a very entertaining movie. The car scene was hilarious.

User review rating: 2 October 30, 2011

A mess of a movie. You have to wonder if the screenwriter bothered to read Hunter S Thompson's book before sitting down to write this turd of a screenplay - not even Johnny Depp can salvage this movie.

User review rating: 1 October 29, 2011

omg 2 hours I'll never get back. Good comments on here must be from the movie company because seriously, I've never seen such a pointless movie.

User review rating: 5 October 29, 2011

Loved it!

User review rating: 2 October 29, 2011

A pretty flat movie that attempts to use class warfare to make the viewer care. Didn't work, Depp was given very little in this movie, and pathetic lines like, "You're high, you fool, drink more rum!" did not help things.

User review rating: 4 October 29, 2011

Very entertaining movie.

User review rating: 3 October 29, 2011

Not much of a story. Good character actors. A little slow.

User review rating: 3 October 29, 2011

An ok movie but it seemed a little pointless in the end.

User review rating: 4 October 29, 2011

Johnny Depp found the unpublished manuscript of Hunter S. Thompson's novel in the writer's basement and brought it to life on the screen. Deep maintained the integrity of the work and, thus, the journalistic integrity of Thompson emerges. A most enjoyable glimpse into the spirit of one of America's great authors.
