An alcoholic and failed writer came to Puerto Rico to work as a reporter for a newspaper with the regret of two and a half works he did not publish. However, when he came here, he found that the life he longed for did not exist here. , accompanied by his embarrassed life and drinking all day long.

At the beginning of the film, Johnny Depp woke up in the hotel after a hangover, and the waiter opened the door and saw a tired face, messy hair, and red eyes. You can see yesterday What did the master of all this night do. However, he had to go to the newspaper office for an interview, and he still stepped into a taxi and started his life as a reporter in this beautiful country. However, the newspaper office in front of him was only lingering. The Americans who come here to dig for gold wantonly oppress the locals, and the locals are also full of hatred for the wealthy Americans. The escape of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper caused the entire newspaper to collapse in an instant. He was unemployed and had a bad relationship with the rich friends he just met. At this time, he was in trouble, but he gained love. In this life full of crises, he completed it. After his own transformation and rebirth, he embarked on the road to return to China, went to New York to marry his sweetheart, and became the premier senior reporter in the United States in his subsequent work.

It seems a bit boring biographical film, telling a wonderful story of a legendary reporter in Puerto Rico, the starring Johnny Depp is the only thing that attracts me to this film, his acting skills are indeed very superb, but the story It is a bit flawed in itself, lacking in orgasm.
