An average movie

Dear God,  what the hell happened to Johnny Depp?!? Last year, he came up with 'Transcendence' which sounded promising but turned out to be eventually easily the most disappointing movie released in 2014 but, this year, he managed to show up in something even more underwhelming. Sure, I heard it was poorly received and another flop for the once ruler of the box-office but I still wanted to check it out. Well, it was pretty pathetic, I'm afraid. I mean, where should I start? I guess, the biggest problem was that the story was just so generic and boring. Furthermore, the main character, supposedly an attempt from Depp at being funny, was most of the time rather annoying and barely entertaining. I mean, when the biggest joke is about the main character's mustache and you keep bringing it back desperately every 5 minutes, you should know you're in trouble. At least, there was a nice cast cast involved (Johnny Depp,  Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Paul Bettany, Jeff Goldblum, Olivia Munn), they all did what they could with this material and there were a (very) few moments which were fairly amusing but the whole thing was just really weak. Anyway, to conclude, it is really time that Depp goes back making some small indie features,  just like in the good old days, and there is no real reason why you should waste your time with this movie.
