You'll have to excuse the fact there isn't much of a review of this movie. its because i found it very hard to follow but here goes.

I haven't read the book/story this i based on & the film is a bit difficult to follow but still very good. the whole filmed then drawn thing is brilliant. Keanu Reeves was pretty good, I loved Winona Ryder. Robert Downey Junior was brilliant as the paranoid doctor. Woody Harrelson equally brilliant as the stoner friend.

this is a society blighted by super addictive drugs. that are being created by the company who is trying to "cure" all those taking that drug. this visuals of the film are done in a hand drawn style over the prefilmed content, it gives the film a very unique look that makes recognising some of the actors not an easy thing to do at certain times.

all in all, it was a very hard plot to follow but looked great.
