I was really looking forward to this movie, based on the trailer and what I had heard about Burroughs' writing (never read it myself though). And with Cronenberg and a great lead player, how can one go wrong??
Well, I tried hard -- twice, in fact -- but just couldn't get interested in it enough to stay awake. Cronenberg's special effects were imaginative and well-done, but it just wasn't enough to carry it off. For me, at least.
I don't know what went wrong. I did lots of drugs in the 60s, I love Cronenberg's work and I really wanted to like this one. Maybe it's me, but don't get your hopes up on this one. See it when it's free.
