The Rum Diary (2011)
Tired of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, itinerant journalist Paul Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local San Juan newspaper run by the downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked lifestyle of the late ‘50s version of Hemingway’s “The Lost Generation,” Paul soon becomes entangled with a very attractive American woman, Chenaults and her fiancée Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals. It is within this world that Kemp ultimately discovers his true voice as a writer and integrity as a man.
I sat in the theather for 1 1/2 hours and finally walked out. I could not figure out what the heck the movie was about. reading the synopsis kinda got an idea(after I left) this movie would lead you in one direction and then change up. Nothing made sense.
Amber Heard was horrible as an actress. I expected a lot more from a Depp movie. I should have asked for my money back. I should have known when only 3 other couples were in the theather that it was a sign.
how could they have screened this movie and not picked up on the lack of direction? Just terrible.
