Gilliam's big-screen adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's drug odyssey across the garish excesses of the Las Vegas desert plains 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)
