Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is pure crack (quite literally) and that's why it's so brilliant! It's hard to predict what's going to happen but you can bet that it's most likely going to be something very strange and that, I think, is the beauty of the movie.

After seeing some interviews about the man he's portraying, I think Depp was simply fantastic. Hunter S. Thompson sure is an... read more

Give us your brain for two hours and you will never be the same again!
Best movie about and/or revovling around drugs! Though many come close (including another role Johnny Depp played as a main character in a drug movie) no ther movies truley capture the insanity inside an acid trip or a cocaine bindge quite like Fear and Laothing. The scary (and amazing) thing about this film is that is w... read more

Description: An adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel of the same name. The film details a whacky search for the "American Dream", by Thompson and his crazed, Samoan lawyer. Fueled by the massive amount of drugs they purchased with an advance from a magazine to cover a sporting event in Vegas; they set out in the Red Shark. Encounteri ... (more)

" The Ups: Extremly inventive in look and style. The movie that changed Johnny Depp and he started getting typecast in the same type of roles: eccentric drug/alkohol infected characters with strange quirky behavior that mumbles to themselves. Benicio del Toro wandering around like a hairy slob for the entire movie. No cool "funny drug" camera shots that helps the audience - we have to accept that the characters are drugged with the help of the acting and script though there are couple of cool hal"

"Unlike Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing doesn’t shock or fascinate. It simply disgusts and repels. - Judith Egerton, Kentucky Courier-Journal Although the picture’s final moments establish it as a morality play, it’s been so previously vacuous that the effort is futile. - Forrest Hartman, Reno Gazette-Journal As for Depp, what was he thinking he made this movie? He was once in trouble for trashing a New York hotel room, just like the heroes of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” What"

"The book (1971): Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is gonzo-journalist Hunter S. Thompson's most famous book, a drug-fueled drilling to the heart of American dream. Blending fact and fiction, Thompson's novel lacks a proper coherent narrative, instead describing a series of lurid hallucinogenic trips which leads the two main characters to a rampage through Las Vegas while handling the failings of the counterculture movement of the 1960s. How did they film it (1998): Oliver Stone couldn't do it, Ma"

"Do you need to be on drugs to enjoy this movie? No, but it helps. Hunter S. Thompson's scathing satire doesn't come through as often as it could've, but still a very good film, and a must see for any fan of Thompson or Gilliam."
