Richard Linklater’s adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s novel utilizes digital
rotoscope animation to create an alternate reality, perfectly suited
to the author’s radical aesthetic. Keanu Reeves is Bob Arctor,
an undercover cop trying to determine where a new drug, Substance D,
is coming from and how it’s made. Along the way he gets involved with a
group of ne’er-do-wells who’ve fallen under the drug’s sway and finds
himself following in their footsteps. Hypnotic and as seductive as
the drug at its center, the film is engaging from start to finish,
Linklater adhering to Dick’s paranoid and nihilistic view of the world,
creating a sobering vision of a world beset by corruption and paranoia.
