I really wanted to like this. I think Johnny Depp was perfectly cast as Hunter Thompson’s alter ego, and Benecio del Toro was an odd but interesting pick as his sidekick in a drugged out foray into the fantasy world that is Las Vegas for visitors. But the drugs were flying so very fast, and the narration was much too disjointed…reminding me why I never managed to finish reading the book. I really can’t say good or bad about this movie. It is what it is. I just couldn’t get into it.
