THE ASTOR REVIEW

Gilliam’s big screen adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s drug odyssey across the garish excesses of the Las Vegas desert leaves you feeling like you’re coming down from a bad acid trip. The incoherent narrative and vulgar, flashy visual style works for and against it as it tries to convey the experience of taking mind altering drugs. SE

IMDB SYNOPSIS

The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson's seminal psychedelic classic about his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched desperately for the American dream... they were helped in large part by the huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark.
