Johnny Depp plays Hunter S. Thompson in this weird partially fictional partial biography of the man.

The movie's a wild ride as they try real hard to get the viewer to experience the incredible mix of drugs and alcohol that our intrepid reporter takes as he skips covering a desert bike race in Las Vegas.

A slew of weird characters come in and out, with little development, explanation, or clarity. I was confused and exhausted by the film, but I managed to plug away through to the end.

Sending this one back to NetFlix with uncertainty how to rate it.
