Paul rooms with Sala, an aging and equally alcoholic reporter, in a rundown flat. Sanderson, a wealthy entrepreneur, hires Paul to flack for a group of investors who plan to buy an island near the capital and build a resort. Sanderson's girl-friend, the beguiling Chenault, bats her eyes at Paul. His loyalties face challenges when he and Sala get in trouble with locals, when a Carnival dance enrages Sanderson, and when the paper hits the skids. Is the solution always alcohol?
One part outrage. One part justice. Three parts rum. Mix well. Rated R for language, brief drug use and sexuality. Did you know Edit.

A review for people who don't know about Hunter S Thompson. I'm one of the uncultured folks who never read a word of Hunter S. Thompson in my life. If that describes you, too, then read on. Apparently Depp was HST's friend in life, so we can expect a respectful, if not accurate, portrayal. Who knows if that's truly the case, but the Depp character is very likable and unique.
The character comes across as intelligent, always seeming to understand things 1 level deeper than everyone else; however he never comes across as condescending, judgmental or cynical. That's the real beauty to me. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New. This is s very disturbing movie. There is nothing entertaining about this debacle.
Hunter Thompson demonstrates his disturbing mentality in this book and I cannot believe that Johnny Depp would waste his time and money on this piece of crap. Might be the worst movie of all time. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. I wanted to see this movie mainly because it starred Johnny Depp and Amber Heard to whom Johnny is supposedly engaged to be married.
The movie is nothing special but it does have lots of laughs. The scenery is beautiful and it's very colorful. I don't know why Johnny is so enamored with Hunter Thompson's literary works.
Alcohol fueled themes with weak story lines are nothing special. Still, Johnny made it his mission to bring this book to the big screen. I'm glad I finally saw it.
Great soundtrack if you enjoy jazz. I enjoyed this movie so much I think it's one of Johnny Depp's best besides Pirates of the Caribbean of course thank you so much enjoyed it. Skip to main content.
