Major disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2001)

Johnny Depp is a favourite, nonetheless, I find it difficult to say anything positive about this movie. Started off superficial and whimsical, at which time it was somewhat entertaining. However, when it attempted to go deep and elicit feelings from the audience -- especially the relationship between father and daughter -- there was no basis from which to successfully pull it off. The dialogue was so incredibly AWFUL that I had to check to make sure that it wasn't written by James Cameron. An obvious "line", but boy did this blow. A drug movie that is actually worse than "Traffic". 2/10
