Synopsis: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Product Description
It is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels toward Las Vegas—accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo—to cover a motorcycle race. His cut-and-dried assignment quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey. Director Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, Brazil) and an all-star cast headlined by Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Donnie Brasco) and Benicio Del Toro (The Usual Suspects, Che) show no mercy in adapting Hunter S. Thompson’s legendary dissection of the American way of life to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.

I saw this film when it was released in the local cinema and fell in love with it. The entire movie is a masterpiece and will not disappoint if you are in any way shape or form a fan of Hunter's writing. The movie pays an honest and humble homage to the book. Hunter's writing was extremely visual to begin with and therefore a challenge to put to screen. And in my opinion it was done near-flawlessly. Fret not, all the lewd, lascivious, and what is now politically incorrect behavior are present in the movie. And done so with respect for the book as well as the most scrutinizing fan. But if you're reading this review then you're most likely familiar with the movie itself and have long since formed your own opinions about it. That being said, how about this "new" BluRay release? This movie was indeed released on BluRay long before the US release. And it was not too expensive in online auction sites and was even...

Thompson, you'll love this, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) Let me be frank and honest up front about this: you HAVE to love Hunter S. Thompson or you will NOT enjoy this movie. I see a lot of reviewers saying that the movie is trash - I counter by saying that they probably haven't read this book or any of his other works. This is an incredibly faithful adaptation of the book, and captures the Gonzo feel of the writing. It's really a testament to Terry Gilliam's directing ability as well as Johnny Depp's range that made this movie the masterpiece it is. The blu-ray is beautiful, the sound is amazing, and it is completely worth it in every way. 12 of 17 people found the following review helpful: Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride, By Tim L (West Chester, PA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) This is my all time #1 favorite film, I love Hunter S. Thompson's writing, Terry Gilliam's films, and Johnny Depp & Benicio Del Toro are 2 of my favorite actors, but what makes this movie my favorite is the combination of these 4 peoples talents. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" for years was considered to be an unfilm-able novel, in part because it's a true story about ungodly amounts of substance abuse, but aside from that, there really isn't any kind of normal story structure to it, and for years no one could figure out a way to fit Thompson's free-form writing style into a typical, 3-act structure, movie screenplay. The brilliant thing a but Gilliam's film though, is that he doesn't even bother with a typical 3 act structure screenplay, but instead uses weird camera moves, lighting and editing to create a kind of "visual approximation" of Thompson's free wheeling, start and stop, style of story telling, and Depp and Del Toro tie the whole thing together brilliantly...
