So today I watched Philip K. Dick's 'A Scanner Darkly'.
Well, that was dark (pun intended). This is one of the best roles I've seen of Keanu Reeves; his subtle and somewhat detached style is exactly what was needed for the complex and sympathetic character of Bob Arctor. The whole atmosphere of suspense, paranoia, perceptual distortions, and chaos of hallucinogenic overindulgence was done really well. The rotoscoping animation was used perfectly to highlight the cinematography.
Before you watch this movie let me tell you that it was based on PKDs own experiences with drugs. He tells this story within the framework of a surreal science fiction thriller.
