Spun

The movie is like the low-rent, road show version of those serious drug movies where everybody is macho and deadly.

The movie is both harrowing and funny, but I’m not sure the filmmakers would agree with everyone about which scenes are which.

Outrageously grungy and whacked-out walk on the wild side.

The biggest problem with Spun is that it's really just about speed (and editing). And speed, like most other drugs, is in and of itself boring.

Because Spun is so plotless it's almost avant-garde, we're meant to be delighted with its assortment of set pieces.

A dark comedy about speed freaks that feels like it was directed and edited by someone in the midst of a methamphetamine jag.

A turkey of Rubenesque proportions.

I discovered this movie by accident believe it or not. This has become one of my top five favorite movies it's hilarious it's cringing it's disgusting. It's also heartbreaking because it shows Ross and how much even though he loves his ex-girlfriend addiction is more important in his life which is something I can relate to. I remember when I did meth in my early twenties and how the world around me became less and less of a reality. The acting and the cast are absolutely fantastic and it breaks my heart that Britney Murphy is no longer with us but we were still able to experience some of her talent. I love this movie in every way and this is why I don't trust New York critics or Los Angeles critics or get paid a lot of money critics because sometimes or most of the time they just don't get it.

Cult classic. Very funny and brilliantly edited. Has some cameos from Debbie Harry and Rob Halford, along with great performances from Mickey Rourke, John Leguizamo and the late Brittany Murphy.

I've never seen a movie that was so real and surreal at the same time. Artful as well as gritty, some people will take a quick look and not " get" this. Surrounded by talented people, Mickey Rourke steals this movie. His monologue at the end of the movie had to be written by him and brought tears to my eyes. I laughed most of the way through this movie and then was hit with his words. Only open-minded people will be able to watch this gem. Someday more critics will "get" this and it will be declared a cult classic.
