A Scanner Darkly

Simply amazing to watch, brilliant dialog and plot

Wow. This movie is spectacular. As I was watching it I couldn't help but be impressed with the style of animation and how effective it was for this type of film. There were no expressions or emotions lost but instead they were enhanced in the translation from traditional film to this cartoon effect that was put on the movie afterwards.

Asides from the obvious animation, the dialog was very believable. Robert Downey Jr. and Woody Harrelson did a great job portraying paranoid druggies that were always so quick to create conspiracy theories. Kenanu Reeves was so fucked up from drugs that it kept me interested until the very end.

The idea behind this movie is simply great and I haven't seen a movie portray drug addiction like this since Trainspotting. The movie is sad and intriguing and I can't wait to watch it again.

A Scanner Darkly Review comment

I have been wanting to see this for a long time, but I have not heard of anybody (personally) watch it. I will have to check it out. One thing does concern me is your refernce to "Trainspotting." I didn't like that movie.
