Movie Reviews of Spun (Unrated Version)
Movie Review: Watch the dysfunction, presented in a lighter tone
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always surprised that this movie is cross-marketed with Requiem for a Dream. Requiem is a much darker hellish downward spiral. Spun is a lighter, irrervant, and funny (at times and if you have a dark sense of humor) look at a completely different drug and lifestyle--crystal meth tweakers. This movie is rich with absoslute zany, off-the-wall characters, from John Leguizamo's paranoid, self-obsessed dealer character, to Mena Suvari's unwashed, unkept addict, to Mickey Rourke as the completely unbalanced and very vivid The Cook. The plot is a little flimsy, but aren't the lives of drug users kind of dream-like, trance-like, and without a clear linear plot? This can be viewed as a series of manic music video scenes, but put together, this is a compelling film about drug abuse that avoids preaching to the audience, chosing instead just to demonstrate.
Fans of this movie should also check out dark comedies such as SLC Punk! and The Opposite of Sex.
Movie Review: I thought RUN LOLA RUN would never have any competition. Boy! Was I wrong?
Summary: 5 Stars
Spun is an absolute pleasure to watch. It doesn't wait around to get noticed, instead it sets it's own pace, like for example - No credits roll in the beginning, no apologetic character introductions, there is no STOP sign in this film, everything is unhooked and raw,YET nothing seems to be out of place. The direction is bizzare, camerawork is staggering at places, the sets are like gutters, the music is extraordinarily amusing and the acting is another level. There are many characters in the film and a quite a wide variety too. The reason I compare Spun with Run Lola Run is because it was nearly as entertaining as the German wonderflick was. Spun is possibly one of a kind. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Trainspotting. Now, that is saying a lot.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen many movies like Spun in Hollywood. So I have no recommendations. This is an absolute must watch, if there ever was one.
Movie Review: spun
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe this film should be shown to people who are thinking of doing meth or in drug free programs. Cause it would work well. Spun does a great job of showing people on speed. Their ugly faces and out of control hypes for long time before their final long crash. well forget the messages. This was a great film. I love the cast and the way the film was directed. I liked all the 1-2 second images of the closeups of their eyes and etc. it's hard to explain. you have to see it to understand. I really like Requiem for a dream so no shocker i liked this one. I liked the different conditions each person was under when on meth. How they all acted differently. A film like this doesn't stop people from taking meth since so many people are still drug users, i will stick to the sex and drinking thank you, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy this film. I love spun!Movie Review: all SPUN out
Summary: 5 Stars
Extreme. Graphic. Brutal. Beautiful. This movie shows a true artform in film that the Hollywood World has seem to forgotten. Even better, it tends to drive a deep message on what happens when chemicals get the worst of you. Ross (Jason Shwartzman), a lost collage drop out with a troubled mind finds himself as a personal driver for a local meth cook (Mickey Rourke) in exchange for drugs. Only to find the end in a supurb twist. In the midst a world of sex, drugs, and corrupt law enforcement ensuthe. Starring John Leguizamo as Spider Mike, a spaced out meth dealer. Mena Suvari as Cookie, Spider Mike's twacked out girlfrien. Britney Murphy as The Cook's lady friend. And Many More. This movie has beautiful cinematics, an even better sound track, and a twisted yet comedic story that will blow your mind. This is a must see flick!Movie Review: wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie was so messed up from beginning to end. i didn't know what to expect after the opening scene. it's hard to describe the type of dysfunction this movie portrays, but if you have ever seen a crackhead in action arguing with another crackhead, then you might know what to expect. my friend told me about this one and i recommend it to anyone with a sick sense of humor or anyone who needs a wake up call from doing a drug binge for too long.
i would have to say that the best scene in this movie is the end which i won't give avay, the one with mickey rourke, but the other scene i liked alot is where this kid locked and tied down his 'girlfriend' in his room for 3 days with a cd that keeps skipping loud as hell. i'm not sure if it lands on the really disturbing or really funny side, but it is entertaining.
