I was wondering whether to give this documentary two or three stars and gave it the benefit of the doubt. The documentary starts off on shaky ground with an annoying split screen, and a segment of Gary Busey’s ego getting in the way. It focuses on the two movies made of Hunter S. Thompson’s life, ‘Where The Buffalo Roam’ from 1980 and ‘Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas’ in 1998. There isn’t much information on Thompson during the decade inbetween movies.

The interviews with Thompson that are used are from 1978, 1997, and 1998. Other interviews are with Sean Penn, Gary Busey, Johnny Depp, Bill Murrary, John Cusack, Benicio Del Toro, Harry Dean Stanton, editor William F. Buckley, author Tom Wolfe, politician George McGovern, and politician Gary Hart, along with close friends and ex-wives.

The documentary talks about Thompson’s unique “Gonzo” style of writing, his penchant for alcohol, drugs, guns, and company while revealing that he (as early as 1978) felt like he was losing himself to the icon he had become. I think the movie would lose any relevancy it had if one had not read at least one of Thompson’s works. The interviews were more personal than professional relationship, and I felt that the documentary only skimmed the surface of Thompson’s brilliance.

Also, there are no subtitles for the hearing impaired, which was needed because Thompson has a tendency to mumble and speak very fast in his interviews. The documentary on the second CD of the Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas set had more information on Thompson both personal and professional than this DVD held. Rent, don’t buy. Enjoy!

Being a Thompson fan and looking foward to a documentary of his life i eagerly awaited this dvd release. After watching it i cant help feel this was done with respect and good intention but fell short of the target. Its main problem is too many actors recollections and not enough Hunter. Now i like Sean Penn J depp J Cusack Bill Murray but the film spends too much time talking about the Hunter films that were made( to be fair its full title includes the subtitle “Hunter Thompson on film”- his life is briefly gone over with excellent narration by the always drunk sounding Nick Nolte and old friends give some insight into his character but is lacking is the miles of footage interviews and othe source material that i have seen on other bootleg dvds and on such commercial dvds as “Breakfast with Hunter”. There is no long extended interviews or dialogue with Hunter- its always short scenes between some actors impression of The good doctor. What works are some of the fellow authors interviews and politicians who put the late authors work in historical context. Hopefully there will be a definitive Doc made of this very interesting relevant counter-culture icon who happened to be a very funny and talented writer. Rent it first before you buy- because this ride isnt that thrilling. P.s Gary Busey comes across a complete egomaniac and selfcentered and he seems to forget this is about Hunter and not himself.
