Movie Reviews of Spun (Unrated Version)
Movie Review: One of the best drug films ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
From start to finish, this film shows what real drug life is about. Even the scenarios in it prove just how a druggie thinks. (And the decisions one can make while on Meth.) Jason Schwartzman and Mickey Rourke's performances were dead on.
This movie has humor, drama, and disturbing scenes all rolled into one. (Depending upon how open-minded you are.) There was alot of controversy about this film with comparing it to Requiem for a Dream. But personally, I've never thought the two were THAT much alike. Requiem was much more deeper and darker. While as Spun showed the 'fun' side of life as well.
If you're into drug cinema films, I'd highly recommend this one.
Movie Review: Amazingly stylish and on-target
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the naysayers (who should not be watching a movie like this in the first place), Spun is a devastatingly accurate portrayal of tweaker life, imbued with enough comedy and poignancy to make a good story. Brittany Murphy has outdone herself, and all of the fine cast have demonstrated great range and courage by tackling this material. Former music-video-director Jonas Åkerlund brings exactly the right touch to a movie about meth freaks, and his twitchy, rapid-cut style pulls the viewer into the feeling of runaway speed. If you have any interest in drug movies or counterculture life, or god forbid you have been part of this scene, then check out this masterpiece of the genre.Movie Review: Quite the trip
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great and very well thought-out/planned film. The screenplay was brilliant and the acting superlative. The best part of this whole film is definitly the cinematography; it is second to none with an obvious indo-music video slant (characteristic of the directors background making music videos.) that creates an absolutely surreal and disconnected feeling indicative of drug use. Oh yah, if your into this kind of thing, drop some mushrooms before you watch this, its almost as though the movie was designed for drug use; it was a crazy trip the whole way through...try it...you'll like it!Movie Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie isn't for everyone--harsh, obscene at times--but if you like edgie, indie stuff that's GENUINELY edgie and indie (not like contrived junk like THE DOOM GENERATION or PULP FICTION, where subpar talents like Quentin Morontino think they're geniuses, but ain't) you'll love this. It's really daring and orginal--scratch marks intentionally cover the entire film for edgie feel--and with all the darkness is some of the most hilarious humor I've seen in a while. My eyeballs were scalded watching this film, and I loved every second of it.Movie Review: Brilliant
