    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is the fiftieth adaptation of an Ernest Hemmingway story.
    • Goofs
      The fish David "catches" is clearly made of rubber. The fish has an adipose fin which only salmon and catfish have. This fake fish does not look like a salmon at all with the spiky dorsal fin and the snapper head.
    • Quotes

      David Bourne: You know you want to be careful about Absinthe. It tastes like remorse, yet it takes it away.

    • Soundtracks
      The Jefferson Stomp
      (uncredited)
      Performed by Raimond Bugatti and his Platinum Lounge Syncopators

    Mena Suvari UUUGGHH! (Eye roll)
    Mena Suvari delivers every line like a ridiculous declaration. She's a horrible actress and this is a horrible movie. I didn't read the book but I have to assume it must be better than the film adaptation because it sure can't be worse.
