Join Keanu Reeves as he stumbles into a world of paranoia, addiction and government chicanery in Richard Linklater's brilliant adaptation of Philip K. Dick's dystopian novel. The filmmaker applies the rotoscoping animation technique he used on "Waking Life" (2001) to weave a disquieting, mind blowing tale set in a future world where everyone is under surveillance. Reeves plays an undercover narcotics cop who befriends druggies Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder as part of his investigation and who becomes addict himself. This is a masterpiece, a visually stunning blend of sci-fi, drama and dark, dark humor.
