Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)
7/10
I have heard of this movie a lot but never came around to watch this. I recently watched this and it's a goddamn headtrip. It's crazy, surreal and at times offensive and cringy. Makes you feel almost as high and the protagonists.
The film is based on a book of the same name (which I have not read). The premise is based on real life events with character and location names changed. The protagonists are a journalist and his attorney on their way to Las Vegas to cover a bike race event over the course of the film they take every drug known to man and suffer their effects while moving around Las Vegas.
The best way to describe the film is that it's a surreal experience than anything. The plot is paper thin and the characters are not very well written but Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro do their best to portray the main characters. The central themes of the film are the decline of the counter-culture movement in the 70s and the lie of the American dream.
Not a good film if you are looking for deep plot but I liked it for some memorable set-pieces and the sheer craziness of the visuals and Depp's and Del Toro's characters which I think are well acted and I enjoyed them making a fool of themselves in various situations.

The movie is nonsense. So nonsense that maybe be passed on as an work of abstract art!
Exactly. And I don't think it's a fluke. The film was purpose built to make people divisive.
The movie or the series?

I like action movies, but this was just too dumb. Reminded me of some bollywood brainless flicks.

^Rule of the thumb is if Amazon promotes something, it means it is most probably not good. There was literally no advert of the boys in india, but this was heavily promoted.
The plot had the potential but they didn't use it.

It was a 2.5 Hrs action movie!
Why do we need to invest so much time in such a movie. First 15-20 min nothing happen actually.
90 min is enough for such movies.
