Manufacturer Description

Primarily based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary, follows itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) on an alcohol-fueled journey across the pristine island of Puerto Rico. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul quickly becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Listened to) the wildly beautiful fiancée of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), an American businessman concerned in shady development deals. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to publish favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is offered with a choice: to use his phrases for the corrupt businessman’s financial profit or use them to get him down.

Actor-producer Johnny Depp pays homage to his good friend Hunter S. Thompson by way of this sprightly adaptation of the novelist's semi-autobiographical novel. Depp performs Paul Kemp, the booze-sozzled journalist who normally requires center stage in Bruce Robinson's period of time comedy. Out of desperation, the New Yorker normally requires a work with a San Juan newspaper in 1960, where he reviews to the cynical Lotterman (Richard Jenkins) and shares a squalid flat with affreux-back photographer Sala (The Sopranos' Michael Rispoli) and the genuinely unhinged "crime and faith" reporter Moburg (a scene-stealing Giovanni Ribisi). The 3 Ugly Us citizens do their best to drain the island's rum provide until Kemp meets Aaron Eckhart's slick Sanderson, who recruits the author to advertise his true estate ventures, irregardless as to the number of poverty-stricken Puerto Ricans his lodges will displace. Politically, Kemp leans left, but he requirements the dough, so he accepts the offer, only to discover the greatest temptation in Sanderson's uninhibited fiancée, Chenault (the stunning Amber Listened to). It is a tough balancing act, but when the natives begin obtaining restless, Kemp dangers dropping every little thing. If the summary feels anticlimactic, Robinson keeps the antic power likely by way of nerve-wracking vehicle chases, balletic cock fights, and a hilarious acid excursion that recalls the hotel trip-out in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, to which Robinson's movie serves as a significantly less surrealistic cousin. If it isn't as particular to grow to be a cult traditional, like the director's similarly inebriated Withnail and I, Depp and company always continue to be accurate to Thompson's irascible spirit. --Kathleen Do.
