Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Too much of everything

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This not so potent movie will leave you spun. It involves speed, paranoia, drug making, crazed cops, even a green dog. We too have some cameos from some fine actors. All the actors impressed me in this, none more than the late Brittany Murphy. Jason Schwartzman too, who I really hadn't seen act before, pulled me in with his performance, of such intensity, he had me concerned for him. These two are so believable as drug addicts, they walk the fine line between acting and non acting. Spun has so many racey images, where in the end, nothing really amounts to anything, and whatever messages the movie was trying to telegraph got lost somewhere amidst this mess. Rourke is great as Murphy's old man who hires a motel room out, using it for a drug lab, hence the green dog. Oh, yeah, and guess what, husky voiced Rourke, (not the gentle voiced one we remember from earlier days) manages to blow up his motel room, before taking refuge in the back room of a sex shop. Got to lay off the speed Mick. When it comes selecting porn, Mick's a hard to please customer. Mick, an advocate of women's rights, shows us at first hand, his reaction to a guy hitting his two girlfriends, one guy never more deadlier with a six pack. Larry Drake, spending too little screen time as a vet, reminded me of just what a fine actor he is, while Eric Roberts is priceless as Mick's gay friend. "Blondie's" Deborah Harry, now overweight, makes a guest appearance as a tough dyke, another splendid acting performance in this insane film. Definitely an entertainer, you drug takers or non drug takers, will get a lot of laughs out of, if also relating with these drug's experiences and it's effects. But really, did we have to see Menu Suvari's poo hitting the water in the toilet bowl.

It's been a week since I've watched Spun and I still can't stop thinking about it. I came in expecting a juvenile comedy full of sex and drugs but what I got was much more. This may be one of the best films I've seen in a long time; the script and the actors were all amazing. The script and the directing portrayed all the characters as disgusting, detestable individuals but the actors made you care about them. When the characters cried I cried, when they laughed I laughed. Nothing about this movie will (or should) be nominated for an award, or receive critical acclaim but some of the actors performances were on level with those of Hollywood legends.The true stars of this movie are Mickey Rourke and John Leguizamo; in every scene they were in I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Their personality and charisma enhanced each and every scene. Jason Schwartzman played an emotionally detached speed head that you never really got close too, but that was the point. He played an emotionless character but it allowed everyone else too shine. Schwartzman's wooden performance made everyone else pop; from Mickey Rourkes P**sy Speech, to John Leguizamo's paranoid rants, to Brittany Murphy's tantrums every actor made me laugh, shout, and cry.I've recommended this movie to all my friends and they loved it. Whenever we meet up we'll start quoting lines until we're all laughing on the ground.I believe you can watch the movie for free on Crackle.com, please if you haven't already watch this movie!

This happens to be my favorite movie of all time. A lot of people misunderstand this movie when they watch it. YES, the movie does not have a real point, but it does show you how the speed life is. This movie does a great job portraying that, better than any movie i've seen. You could categorize this movie as educational if you wanted. If you know anybody on speed and you you want to know how it's like, watch this and you'll get the picture. This is the best movie in drug cinema. There need to be more films like this.It also has a great cast. I'm surprised and disappointed to see this movie never got to the mainstream. I guess people shy from the truth.

It was one of those movies were it is intended to make a point, but in my view it was just another lame pointless movie. I have never seen a movie with such disgusting scenes, and three of those scenes were just too disgusting to watch. The first was when Frisbee (Patrick Fugit) was having, at least what I think it is, a steak. The look of his meal, the way he eats and not mention his mother siting in her filth was sickening! The second scene was when Cookie (Mena Suvari) was in the toilet, there are no words to describe it, and can't imagine how any actress would agree do this scene. The final scene was when Spider Mike (John Leguizamo) was practicing his "habit", I just don't understand what the director was trying achieve from all this! The only perfect thing about the movie was the cast, they were very successful to act as losers.All in all, an awful disgusting pointless movie with a perfect matching cast.
