A Scanner Darkley



An alright film. The much hyped rotoscoping isn’t really that great though, and I'm not convinced it adds to the film. If anything it's a bit boring, something that PKD could never be accused of, and the acting is pretty lame a lot of the time. Story-wise it’s fairly faithful to the book (not that I care much about that) but despite all the surface weirdness it doesn’t really manage to tap into the unsettling core of the book. Basically don’t bother, or watch it on video on a Sunday morning or something.
