A bad movie

Being a huge fan of Johnny Depp (even way before his antics with Captain Jake Sparrow), my expectations were huge with this movie and I have went to watch the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released. Eventually, it was probably one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. I mean, it was so bad, it is even the worst movie starring Johnny Depp. I mean, the guy is a great actor, no doubt, but he seems to have no talent for directing, I'm sorry. Indeed, the whole thing was just really condenscending and completely boring to watch, I couldn't believe I was witnessing such a train wreck. Depp gave himself the lead part and he was supposed to be some kind of righteous martyr but I thought it was pretty arrogant and egocentric. The great Marlon Brando shows up in a small part but didn't impress me either. In short, the story was average and the directing was just not up to it. To conclude, the whole project had some potential, it was his first directing gig and it was real mess (it wasn't even release in the US back then), since then, Johnny Depp hasn't direct anything else and maybe it is better that way.
