| I tried and tried to get hold of this film in South Africa, but
couldn't. So I downloaded it at work. Having seen it, I have to say it
was excellent. I have read the book and I don't think I have seen a
film that stays so close to the book meterial. Excellent acting and
well put together. It reminded me of my own druggy days.

Not even close? Are you serious? It was virtually word-for-word from
PKD's novel. >> Stay informed about: A Scanner Darkly the Film. |
