I found this film to be terrible, hard to follow, boring and vague. On a positive note, Johnny Depp was good in the lead and the scenery was quite beautiful, and shot beautifully.
A journalist travels to Puerto Rico and gets a job writing horoscopes. He gets wrapped up in a scheme. Then some other shit happens, some of it involving a girl. Then he and his friend take acid for no reason. Then there’s a cock fight.
That’s the best I can do to piece together the plot. It seemed like nothing was ever fully explained. Even when they take acid, the scene opens with Johnny Depp dropping it into his friend’s eye. No mention of what’s going on. Very little ever seemed to be fully established.
I did not want to watch this movie, but my wife wanted to see it. Maybe I can use this as an excuse not to let her pick a movie out for a while.
4/10
