Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006) by Brad S — 26 Sep 2015
My rating for A Scanner Darkly is probably higher than most. I can easily see it being less for other viewers since the film does not really come together in many respects. It would have been greatly improved by a score to go with the animation.
The sound itself is not particularly good (and yet that is one of the more important elements of an animated film). The overall feel to it is very 90s: amusing and silly, then serious. Reeves makes for a somewhat sympathetic main character, a confused and fatigued tragic hero.
The main reason why I rate it up is because it is different, the story is oddly compelling, and I am a Robert Downey Jr. fan.
