Description

The Rum Diary

Based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson. Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman (Richard Jenkins). Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard), the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancee of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart).

Sanderson is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's fi­nancial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.

  • " Fans of Hunter S. Thompson or, for that matter, most anyone in this film, are likely to find quite a bit to enjoy here. " – Richard Propes
  • " The Rum Diary is neither remarkable nor revolutionary, but it functions well as an enjoyable romp through a minefield of journalistic ethics. " – Daniel Green
  • " It's not funny, it's amusing. It's not poignant, it's arguably touching. It's not gripping, it's interesting. " – Debbie Baldwin
