The Rum Diary (2011)

Johnny Depp more or less inhabits his Fear and Loathing role (this time with alcohol) in yet another adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's works. He plays a struggling writer fresh in Puerto Rico trying to save a newspaper company. It's certainly more cohesive than the former role, but somehow the movie only feels half-finished. I don't know. There are some charming character moments, but for the most part I say "pass the rum."
