Arrow Films
Considered unfilmable for decades, Hunter S. Thompson's literary landmark of psychedelic excess finally met its cinematic match in anarchic visionary director Terry Gilliam (Twelve Monkeys) and two no-holds-barred star performances by Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.
Raoul Duke (Depp) and his volatile Samoan attorney Dr. Gonzo (del Toro) are en route to Las Vegas, ostensibly on a banal journalistic assignment, but the suitcase full of psychoactive narcotics in their possession tells another story. Beset by bats, horny lizards and runaway hotel carpet upon their arrival, the pair plunge deeper into the pharmaceutically enhanced neon underbelly of the City of Sin on a chemically charged savage journey to the heart of the American Dream.

Endlessly rewatchable gem
A thrilling and anxiety driven ride, about the struggle between the burden of being a human and the filth of succumbing to beast. About the dilemma of sacrificing genuineness for maturity. The movie is visually ambitious and wildly creative. The soundtrack is chilling. No quotable bit from the original source is left out. And the 4K restoration is fantastic!!! Highly recommended
