Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is anything but a forgettable experience. Gilliam creates a disturbingly hectic atmosphere, where not even the viewers will know the difference between reality and fantasy, or hallucinations, I should say. Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro were perfectly cast in their roles- I don’t think another pair of Actors out there could have done their Characters such justice. I think Gilliam did a lot with what he had to work with, and probably did a much better job than any modern day technology combined with another any other Director could have done.
