A Return to the wild world of Hunter S. Thompson in writer/director Bruce Robinson’s adaptation of the Gonzo journalist’s “lost” autobiographical novel of the same name. Dejected over life in New York City and at bitter odds with the Eisenhower-era conventions of the 1950s, nomadic journalist Paul Kemp flees to Puerto Rico, where he quickly lands a job as a reporter for a San Juan newspaper. Drawing inspiration from author Ernest Hemingway’s popular theory about “The Lost Generation,” the newly liberated journalist develops a taste for rum as he becomes slowly entangled in the lives of American beauty Chenault and her shady husband, Sanderson, a wealthy real-estate developer. Later, as Sanderson’s underhanded business dealings begin to emerge, Kemp’s principles come into focus, and his writing style begins to mature in ways he never dreamed possible. Director: Bruce Robinson. Cast: Johnny Depp, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Rispoli, Amber Heard, Richard Jenkins. Rated: R. Time: 2:00.
