Went to see The Libertine last night.
Wasn't what I expected. Yet again, Johnny Depp shows off his acting ability. The film is a mix of frivolous and dark, and I think has to have the best 'introduction' I've seen in quite some time. Seemed a little disjoint in places, but never the less, fairly immersive.
It definitely gets a mention for one of the most ... interesting ... opening sequences I've seen. It also mentions that it 'contains strong language'. It's not joking, but it's not especially gratuitious. (After all, one of the 'motivations' of the lead character is debauchery, at least initially).
More art than action, but nevertheless a well wrought film.
