Director Richard Linklater, who's known for "Dazed and Confused," "Before Sunset" and "School of Rock," creates a unique, futuristic world through an animation process called rotoscoping. It takes live-action film and animators trace over the film to make a precise cartoon copy. The intriguing combination of style and story make this film standout.
Reeves breaks into the group by dating Winona Ryder, "Edward Scissorhandd," and participating in a bit of Substance D consumption. The rest of the junkies are brilliantly played by "A" list actors Robert Downey Jr., "Iron Man" and Woody Harrelson, "Natural Born Killers."
Rating: B
This movie is innovative and thought-provoking but the content isn't appealing to everyone. It is intended for sci-fi and drug crime fans.It is based on the science fiction novel by Phillip K. Dick, who wrote the short story that inspired "The Minority Report." This film follows Keanu Reeves, from "The Matrix," as an undercover cop trying infiltrate a group of junkies to cut off the distribution of the brain-damaging drug called Substance D.
