What does a scanner see? Into the head? Into the heart?

From the novel by Philip K. Dick - the sci-fi legend whose works-to-film include 'Blade Runner', 'Total Recall' and 'Minority Report' - comes 'A Scanner Darkly', brought to the screen by filmmaker Richard Linklater with an edgy graphic-novel look.

The time: just beyond now. The place suburbia. The story: a twisted, funny tale of people hooked on substance D. And of a government that cheerfully destroys its citizens - their rights, their relationships - in order to save them.

robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Rory Cochrane play strung out friends terrified of each other and of spies. Keanu Reeves plays a spy who's also one of the friends... until his two personalities begin to split.

Enjoy the paranoia. Nobody's watching you. Really.
