This movie is an easy 8 if they cast someone else, or if he acts it differently.
I won't hold it against Depp, because the guy takes acting risks - and it's something to be treasured when they pay off.
It was a miss in this.
Truly a shame, because everything else about this film is great.
I have to give it a 6, because 7 is where 'will watch it again' starts.
5 and 6 are still watchable, just not rewatchable.
At least that's how I grade.
This is on the higher end of 'good for a one time watch' - so it's a natural 6.
All of the small parts are done well.
However, there's no saving a movie where the lead is miscast.
If they picked a genuinely older great actor (to which Hollywood is filled with) - the score for this one shoots up.
