Ignore the negativity about the comparison to the book. If you want a book review, go to Amazon.
As a film it does what it does magnificently; thru and thru, from extreme to sublime via ridiculous - but as many point out, if you witnessed any clubbing in LA in the '80s, or any of 'the scene', then this movie holds an unpleasant mirror up to those views.
RDJ is simply brilliant. McC & Gertz fantastic. Spader, preparatively oily.
10/10 for this one folks. Anything less is discussing the % of the cut, to be honest.
*Sniff*
