Film Review - A Scanner Darkly

I hate it when a film's called something that doesn't seem to make grammatical sense.

You're annoyed that it doesn't seem to scan, but you know that it's probably a totally different meaning that you'd only understand if you watched the film. If you did watch the film, it would all fall into place and the title would reveal itself as perfectly grammatical.

But you don't want to watch the film, because you don't want to be sucked in. Instead, it's far better to rage blindly at something you don't really comprehend. That's the way I always feel anyway.

Keanu Reeves - black mark; Robert Downey Junior - black mark; title - black mark; Based on a Philip K Dick novel - tick.

Ticks and black marks: That's the way to rate a film.
