It is a 119min. psychedelic movie version of the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name. Johnny Depp plays the main role of Raoul Duke, who was based on Thompson. Benicio Del Toro also shares a role as the psychopathic lawyer Dr. Gonzo. The amount of drugs the characters consume on screen is roughly equal to the amount you yourself need to ingest to follow the plot of this movie. The cinematography is... well, I suppose the best word that I can come with would be artistic. The acting is amazing, and the actual Hunter S. Thompson wrote the screenplay and has a brief cameo in the film. So yeah, I give this two roaches up. Now if you'll excuse me, i have a few bats to swat at.
