Negative Positive
Title: repetitive/dull
Review: Someone I know once told me this film is brilliant and I had to see it. I had my doubts... the haze of drug-addled minds and the chaos of long, drugged-up scenes in no way appeals to me. I approached this film with a cautious but open mind. I did manage to get through the film in which Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro are both brilliant. Still, the story in no way interested me. That is not to say it would not be entertaining for some people who enjoy this kind of "storytelling". The drugs, after all, are integral to the story and how events played out. Watching, though, makes me rather... ill. In light of Hunter S. Thompson's recent suicide, I would suggest that interested parties read his works rather than watch this. Maybe you have to be on drugs yourself (or incredibly... imaginative?) to enjoy this fully.
Is the review positive or negative?
