What is it about Keanu? Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Little Buddha? The Matrix? Most of the time I find him irritating but every once in a while, he breaks new ground. I loved A Scanner Darkly. It captures tweaking. It's an homage to tweaking. It's a tweaker film. Visually stunning. It looked exactly like the world looks when your tweaking. A hilarious send-up of tweaker humor. Made me giggle a lot. As Over the Hedge was to RedBull, A Scanner Darkly is to tweaking. I recommend it high-ly. I may have to read the book. Downey is great, as is Rory Cochrane and Woody Harrelson. Winona is kind of predictable.
My only complaint is the soundtrack could have been edgier. Just like Lord of the Rings would have been better if Led Zepplin did the soundtrack, this film would have been greatly improved with a soundtrack by the Residents.
