Just watched it and it's a great film, very underrated. The cast is perfect, I'd actually be interested to see it without the cartoon effect, though that does add to the surreal feel.

Am I right in saying that 'a scanner darkly' refers to the fact that scans, surveillance, statistics etc. do not see people clearly, as they do not detect what is going on in their minds, or why they do the things they do? I really wanna see the bit where he explains it again, but I rented so..

Edit- Oh yeh and very good twist at the end

Keanu Reeves does 'spaced-out' really well.
