  Proof that drugs make people dull
  
  We gave up on this after about 25 minutes, by which time watching 2 blokes off their heads on drugs was getting distinctly boring. I'm sure you'd get ... read more »

  I consider this the worst film I have ever seen. 1 star just for Johnny Depps acting.

  1. Read the book first.
  
  2. Don't rent this if you think having two glasses of wine is daring

- A surreal trip into bad drugs makes for a queasy film that is unlikely to attain the cult status of the original book.
