Movie Comments & Discussion
A movie based on a book by Philip K. d*ck starring Keanu Reeves, Winona, Winona Ryder and some other geezers :). A good adaptation of even a better book. Reminds me a bit of Naked Lunch in the way that the main character is geting is geting tangled up with the dual relity his living in as an undercover narcotics agent, although this movie has a bit more to pass on to the reciever than the other one. Also, the director used animation on top of the filmed content which gives the movie quite a unique character.
R.E.C.O.M.E.N.D :)
