Synopsis

When a writing assignment lands journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and sidekick Dr Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) in Las Vegas, they decide to make it the ultimate business trip. But before long, business is forgotten and trip has become the key word. Fuelled by a suitcase full of mind-bending pharmaceuticals, Duke and Gonzo set off on a fast and furious ride through non-stop neon, surreal surroundings and a crew of the craziest characters ever (including cameo appearances by Cameron Diaz, Christina Ricci, Gary Busey and many others). But no matter where misadventure leads them, Duke and Gonzo discover that sometimes going too far is the only way to go.

Journalist Raoul Duke and attorney Dr Gonzo drive a red convertible across the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs in order to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the two get into all sorts of trouble.

Adapted from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel of the same name, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is haunting, odd and surprisingly appealing. If you're curious to see Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro at their craziest, you'll want to tune in.

Review

Slippery Mice

This is far from your everyday movie, and only for those with a deep appreciation for the diversity of film-making, or fans of Hunter S. Thompson. This does not mean those mentioned will enjoy it, although definitely respect the attempt. I personally found it fascinating. To portray a permanently drug induced state to the big screen was done with creativity and subtle humour. You could expect nothing less from director Terry Gilliam who has played such a massive role in the brilliant and original Monty Python works.

Having never read any of Hunter S. Thompson's work, I get the impression that justice is done for the adaptation to the big screen. An absolutely quality cast must be credited for this, ensuring a natural performance is achieved. Las Vegas which features strongly throughout the movie seems to be so appropriate when dealing with this subject matter, they just seem to go hand in hand.
