Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006) by Sharat G — 27 Aug 2010
"What the hell did I just watch?" That's what many people will say to themselves during or after seeing this. This is what is known as a "mind-f@&#" movie. Have you ever tried to put a puzzle together and just become overwhelmed with what you are doing and the accomplishment of remaining focused to the subject at hand? That is what this movie is; a movie about a future world where America has lost its control on drugs. What makes this movie entertaining happens to not just be the very inventive visuals, but also the great, great, great performances by the cast (Robert Downey Jr. especially). It is hard to suggest a movie like this to someone, but if you enjoy those movies that require your fullest attention, then this is it.
If you liked this, then you'll like...
Waking Life.
Run Lola Run.
The Jacket.
