A SCANNER DARKLY (2006)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely positive! I'd say this could very well be one of the best American films of the decade.


Technically any good? The whole film is roto-scoped, which means that it's animated over actual actors. The results, when done in this manner, can really bend your brain. As a result I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go see this film on the big screen. It's very trippy. The acting is solid, even from Keanu where his character and acting style match up pretty nicely. In fact the match-up works so well that there's actually a moment or two where I was impressed with his acting.


How did it leave me feeling? Trippy imagery, trippy subject matter, drugs, conspiracy and paranoia, it's a friggin' anthem for our times. GO SEE IT!


Final Rating? GSN - Seriously, Go See it Now because it's really edgy and very challenging--in other words, it won't be in theaters for long.
