content: This movie is not for the faint of mind. It is from start to finish a whirlwind of drug-frenzies, immorality, and illegal activity in the city that makes these things a virtue. The outstanding camera work, special effects, and directing make Fear and Loathing a wonderful journey into the mind of Rauol Duke (Thompson) and his sidekick Dr. Gonzo. The superb acting done by Johnny Depp, one of the best actors of our time, helps to create a character that is easily understood in his complexity but not so one-dimensional that he detracts from the film's overall narrative flow. I would say that this movie is not for the majority of mainstream movie audiences, but is more targeted towards audiences that have open minds and imagination to spare.
