This Rotoscoped movie could possibly become a cult classic. The use of the filming technique is exactly suited for the content of the story--addiction to mind altering drugs. The story isn't preachy about right and wrong but there are lots of grey areas in the movie, such as various drug uses, police methods, surveillance, corporate and police mixing, true nature of treatment, etc. There's lots of details about the movie and the story in this Wikipedia article (contains spoilers). Good movie, but perhaps, not for everyone. My Rating: 7.0
