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.

" Based on the novel, of the same written by infamous gonzo journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, who along with his best and friend go to Los Vegas, and to covera story, only to go a crazy, strange, weekend long drug trip. It’s also a way harsh, critique on America, then President Richard Nixon, and the war against drugs. Mostly, it’s a way out trip, man.
