What does a scanner see?  Into the head?  From the novel by Philip K. Dick -- the sci-fi legend whose works-to-film include Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report -- comes A Scanner Darkly, brought to the screen by filmmaker Richard Linklater with an edgy graphic-novel look.
 The time: just beyond now.  The place: suburbia.  The story: a twisted, funny tale of people hooked on Substance D.  And of a government that cheerfully destroys its citizens -- their rights, their relationships -- in order to save them.  Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Rory Cochrane play strung-out friends terrified of each other and of spies, Keanu Reeves plays a spy who's also one of the friends... until his two personalities begin to split.  Enjoy the paranoia.  Nobody's watching you.  Really.
