Review of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) by Nelson M — 25 Jun 2012
A film with a lot of potential that, ultimately, doesn't deliver what it promises. The problem with Fear and Loathing is that it is too long. We feel a little too burned out on their adventures by the time we hit the third act and the stationary setting gets a little bland whereas, previously, we had just seen a wild and bizarre Las Vegas prior to it.
Where this film could have been Naked Lunch, it comes awfully close to it's weaker older brother "Where the Buffalo Roam" but not nearly as bad. This is a movie with a great cast, a gifted director, but ultimately falls short of being a great or all that good film.
