I watch all movies with Johnny Depp, but Penélope Cruz sold me on this one!

I skimmed the info, but mostly purchased the film based upon the cover shot. When I watched the film, I felt my self drawn deeper and deeper into the story. The initial interest in Penélope Cruz subsided, as I became more an more interested in the escalating business practices of our hero played by Johnny Depp.



I was rooting for our Business man, throughout the film, and I think he got the shaft. I loved the movie until the end, but they were working with biographical material so they closed the story as best they could.



Suffice to say, this guy is no Scarface; he is just an entrepreneur who enjoys living it up. I think the guy should have made friends in Congress, so that he could have ended his run and kept his fancy homes, et al. C'est la vie.
