This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …

Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
