If you liked V for Vendetta at all, yeah, pick it up.

Besides, if you don't care for it, you can pawn it off on someone as a christmas gift, lol.

Most definitely buy it. I've seen it twice through Netflix, and I've had it on my wish list at amazon for a long time but I thought its inital release price was a bit steep. For $4.99 I might just pick up two copies.

Also, have you read the book? Probably Philip K. Dick's strangest novel, and that's saying a lot.

Man, was that a good flick! I loved the part where Keanu fought all of those Agent Smiths!
Oh wait- wrong movie...

No, A Scanner Darkly was thoughtful & measured, a very textured character piece. The acting was excellent from the entire cast, and it was funny to see Woody Harrelson in it- he & Keanu once had a friendly tussle concerning whether Keanu really did know kung-fu after makin' The Matrix (turned out he did!).
I liked it a lot, it was similar in tone (for me) to A Clockwork Orange, except that I didn't hate the protagonist. The druggie-talk/logic was hi-larious.
And it looked great.
A genuine keeper!
