a tour de force
Despite getting no PR, due to the "legal troubles", I read about it and tracked it down, this for me is JD's tour de force, it is such a superb character piece. I wasn't sure how it would be portrayed as I recall the expose of the poisonings when I was in school. This was so moving and the story so well crafted. The way in which he comes to terms with his demons and faces the horrors of a reality caused by corporate greed. The crafting of the last haunting image which was named as one of the best photographs of the 20th century was very touching. JD showing that he has a talent that will always shine through.

Another good movie due to Johnny Depp
Can totally understand Amber Heard's hatred of Mr Depp. Heard is jealous of Mr Depp's great acting abilities. Shame on all those who jumped on Heard's hatred of Mr Depp and believed her lies without any proof. This movie should have been a block buster but was pushed aside due to sheep thinking all women need to be believed without question. Women lie, cheat, and abuse as much as men. Heard is a perfect example.
