Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006) by Fox M — 16 Mar 2011
I really don't know what to say about this one. If I say too much about the plot, I could give away some massive spoilers, so I'll refrain from mentioning it. This is a very dialogue driven film with some nice performances to back up the bizarre visual style.
The final thing I'm going to note here is that Robert Downey Jr. absolutely steals the show. Every scene he is in is an absolute joy to watch and his character is easily one of the film's biggest highlights.
The first half is decent, but the second half manages to pick up the slack and kicks things into high gear. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but brilliant nevertheless.
