About this product

Product Information

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS is a whirlwind of a movie, a wacky, drug-laden story backed by a fist-pumping rock & roll soundtrack featuring everything from Wayne Newton and Tom Jones to Combustible Edison and Dead Kennedys. Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) heads to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, bringing along his Samoan lawyer, Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro), in this furious adaptation of the book by Hunter S. Thompson. It is 1971, and Duke and Gonzo are on their way to Sin City with a frightened hitchhiker (a nearly unrecognizable Tobey Maguire) and a trunkful of drugs, which they ingest nonstop. Depp is terrific as Duke, Thompson's alter ego, and Del Toro is a riot as the crazy lawyer. To perfect his Thompsonian performance, Depp spent a lot of time with the good doctor, and it paid off in a film that captures the frenetic pace of the counterculture novel. Director Terry Gilliam, a master of complex, bizarre visual imagery, has a field day interpreting the drug-hazed world in which Duke and Gonzo reside. An all-star cast chimes in with wonderfully offbeat bit parts, including Harry Dean Stanton, Gilliam regular Katherine Helmond, Flea, Cameron Diaz, Ellen Barkin, Christina Ricci, Gary Busey, Lyle Lovett, and others.

great film, great performances
Great early Depp performance -- unique as always. And it is matched by an over-the-top performance by Benicio Del Toro, who plays Dr. Gonzo, his Hispanic lawyer. The film may not appeal to everyone, and it took me a couple of watchings to fully appreciate it. But it is a magnificent opus by Terry Gilliam, director, giving us an incredible view into the life of writer Hunter S. Thompson, who became friends with Johnny Depp. It is madness from start to finish, but human, witty, colorful, and intelligent as well. Great period cars, and a very interesting view of Las Vegas in the 70's. Great job and beautiful transfer by Criterion.
