A stellar cast, and digitally filmed in an unusual, comic book-style, this movie is based in the not too distant future, where paranoia and constant surveillance is the norm, and centres around a new drug named Substance D, which is rife across the world. The Police send Keanu Reeves, an undercover cop, to infiltrate the drug rings, and find the main supplier, but his prolonged use of the substance causes him to believe his undercover persona is the real him.
Best Scene: Where Robert Downey Jnr brings a Bike home he has purchased. Wonderful example of the rampant paranoia.
Worst Scene: There isn't one bad scene that stands out per se, but the whole movie can sometimes appear slow and dialogue-heavy.
7/10 A fairly slow tale of paranoia, suspense and some nice twists and turns along the way, with great acting. It's hard to know whether I enjoyed it more because of its digital re-enhancement or because of the plot itself.
For fans of: Minority Report, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Memento, Sin City
