oct 28, 2011 - AFTERELLEN The Rum Diary delights with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s talents

Description:

Depp plays Kemp, an affable drunk who means well but is too directionless to put his good intentions in motion, with cool restraint and – dare I say it – moderation.

The breakout performance, though, is Heard’s turn as Chenault, a free spirit who — even in the island paradise — seems trapped. While Chenault could have become a two dimensional femme fatale archetype, one can sense the very human yearning to escape and find happiness beneath the seemingly perfect and plastic exterior.

Will the details of this film be burned into your memory? Probably not. But you might remember moments.
