So what makes a movie great is what I often ask myself and I can't put my finger on it but there is something in this movie that puts it in this category. I'm not a huge fan of the subject material, or Johhny Depp for that matter, nor did I know a lot about the whole drug culture. It didn't matter though because this movie is unreal. It's just plain cool. It is just so engaging that you are riveted from the time it starts to the moment it ends. Kind of surprised why this movie did not get better reviews because I honestly don't see anything really wrong with it.
