Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles; Director's Comments Ross (Jason Schwartzman) is an addict badly in need of some speed. A visit to his dealer, Spider Mike's (John Leguizamo)--where fellow "tweakers" Nikki (Brittany Murphy)--a stripper, Frisbee (Patrick Fugit)--a metalhead, and Cookie (Mena Suvari)--Mike's girlfriend--turns into an odyssey, though, when Mike can't find his stash. Nikki tells Ross that her boyfriend, crazed cowboy The Cook (Mickey Rourke), can supply whatever he needs. The two of them visit The Cook at his motel lab, and Ross quickly gets his fix. Ross, however, is put into service as The Cook's errand boy and chauffeur, with only brief periods of freedom to check up on the stripper girlfriend he left tied to his bed back at his apartment. Ross' three days without sleep reaches a feverish head when it becomes evident that two cops (Peter Stormare and Alexis Arquette) have raided Spider Mike's pad in search of The Cook.
This relentlessly crude and graphic feature from Swedish music video director Jonas Ackerlund is not for the faint-of-heart. Lightening-fast edits, sexually explicit animation, Farrelly-Brothers-level rudeness, and a pervasive sense of nihilism swirl together to create a morally empty Los Angeles of seedy abodes and cinder-block strip malls inhabited by corrupt cops and thrill-seeking lawbreakers. Set to a memorable score by Billy Corgan, Mickey Rourke's memorable turn paves the way for a game young cast. Theatrical Release: MARCH 14, 2003 (NY)

SPUN screened at the SXSW 2003 film festival in Austin, Texas. Spun Reviews: "...Leguizamo is fearless when it comes to depictions of sexual conduct....Here his energy inspires the others..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...Rourke is excellent as the edgy entrepreneur..."
-- Daniel Webb, Total Film "There are a great many cameos....Mickey Rourke steals the show..."
-- Michael Bonner, Uncut "...The movie is a tour de force of grunge atmosphere and tricky editing in which the jolts and cartoon flashes are seamlessly woven into the narrative..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...[Akerlund] has an undeniable instinct for dirtbag theatrics. SPUN is accomplished..."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  tells the life of a meth junky perfectly
this movie is one of my all time favorites, it doesnt tell any lies [except for the pupils getting small instead of big, but who cares?] other than that, it just about raps up the lives of several different types of meth junkies all in a movie.
i love this movie, infact, im going to watch it right now.

For his follow-up to his darkly brilliant debut, PI, director Darren Aronofsky chose to adapt a tough and meaty piece of work: Hubert Selby's 1968 novel REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, a dark spiral into the abyss of barren fantasies doomed to extinction. However, in Aronofsky's frenetic, visionary, unique, and disturbing style lies the perfect setting for this story of four people whose intertwined lives are filled with eternally hopeful despair. This is a different sort of horror film. Harry Goldfarb (Jared Leto) and Marion Silver (Jennifer Connelly) are lovers in Brooklyn with dreams of setting up a small business and spending the rest of their lives in love--their version of the American dream. The two are also desperate heroin addicts, a compulsion that darkens their lives and leads Harry to repeatedly pawn his mother's television. His mother, Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), is addicted to television, which is why she keeps replacing the stolen set. One day she ...
