**MAJOR SPOILERS** The main character is purposefully given drugs and fed a conspiracy plot so that he will basically fry his brain and help the cop catch the big pharma bad guy.

A character hallucinates being covered in "aphids" - actually various over-sized insects and related.
Later, a character hallucinates that his friends are man-sized insects with human faces.

I saw there was a comment about the time with Bob (Keanu Reaves) at New Path, but there’s also one at some point in the middle of the movie Woody Harrelson’s character chokes on something then goes unconscious and when RDJ’s character is on the phone saying something happened Woody Harrelson starts v****ing. I looked away as soon as it started so idk about visuals but pretty graphic audio in my opinion.

Spoilers:


Bob Arctor/Fred/Bruce is shown to have some drug-induced symptoms of personality fragmentation or possibly DID - imo not misrepresentation but people may interpret it differently

not exactly shaky cam but the rotoscoping has a very strange effect on perspective, and objects and backgrounds warp and shift when the camera moves
