Title: A great piece about an American legend
Review: This movie is exhibits one of Depp's finest performances and proves that he is a top rate character actor. His performance is dead on to the Hunter S. Thompson footage that I have seen.This movie brings to life the 'death of the american dream' aspect that Thompson worked on through out much of his writings. This is not so much a drug movie as it is a brutal look into what America had become after the 1960's.I suppose that to really appericate this movie, one would have to be somewhat familar with Hunter S. Thompson. Any one claiming to have any sort of knowledge of contemporary American litrature surey would though. It is by far a breakthrough movie and more than worthy to be apart of the Criterion Collection.
