"Philip K. Dick's style of paranoid, mind-bending SF meets one of Waking Life/Boyhood director Richard Linklater's low-key slices-of-life in this unusual animated thriller, about addicts spying on each other in a future America. Keanu Reeves stars as an undercover cop who's investigating drug-trafficking by becoming part of a community of users (played by Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey, Jr.). The electronically-aided disguises and personality-altering pills align this adaptation "

"Reason for the future sucking: A super drug, known as Substance D, has hit the streets, symptoms include paranoia and super gnarly hallucinations. Year it takes place: Seven years from 2006, after America has lost the war on drugs. Update: Exact year, 2013"
" Philip K. Dick seems like he should be a hard writer to film, and yet, because adaptations of his work attract talented and experimental filmmakers, they tend to be some of the most interesting and beloved by fans. A Scanner Darkly achieved its look by animating over a digital live-action recording, and the effect is realistic for an animation but detached from reality. The overall impression is rough and ready, but on closer inspection the animation is incredibly detailed down to the slightes"

" DVD- 1hr. 40min. First Viewing I enjoyed it, and got what it was going for, but A Scanner Darkly was just a little to hit-or-miss for me. The cast is strong and the animation always makes the movie interesting, but the movie only really works in spurts, then languishes in repetitive "tripping" scenes that seem to go on and on. Worth a look."
