Product Description:
Three days of epic drug binging become a meth-induced odyssey for college dropout Ross when he becomes the local crystal meth cook's personal driver in exchange for free drugs. Bouncing from one bizarre situation to another Ross slowly slips deeper and deeper into the crazy anonymous world of speed freaks in which there exists no boundaries or morality. With an all star cast including Brittany Murphy Jason Schwartzman John Leguizamo Patrick Fugit Mena Suvari and an unfortunate green dog get ready to see the city through eyes that can't sleep.

Amazon.com:
Spun is an unclassifiable ensemble piece, intentionally bleached of soulfulness and high on visual invention and comic depravity. Set in north Los Angeles, where meth freaks lurch from one motel room to another in search of companionship and a score, the film stars Jason Schwartzman as Ross, whose life is rapidly disintegrating. Fielding phone messages from his mother and trying in vain to reach an old girlfriend, Ross spends most of his time on a feverish circuit with the half-mad Cookie (Mena Suvari) and Nikki (Brittany Murphy), the dangerously paranoid Spider Mike (John Leguizamo), and a macho drugmaker called the Cook (Mickey Rourke). Director Jonas Akerlund's story is nonexistent, but then again Spun is driven by the blurry, hellish energy of a life lived on speed. An obvious influence is Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream, but Akerlund is interested in nightmarish set pieces than tiny horrors of misfired nerve endings and ravaged time. --Tom Keogh

- amazing
amazing movie, it has to be one of the best drug cinema movies ever made.
the whole movie was intense from start to finish and just leaves you in a daze of amazement.

it's a great movie, if you like movies like Requiem for a Dream, you'll absolutely love Spun.

- Looks like SOMEBODY just got out of film school
First of all, if these people were all on crank, their houses wouldn't be so dirty.

This is what I refer to as a "Headache Movie." That's a movie that employs a lot of high-octane camera and editing tricks with accompanying wooshing noises (not to mention characters who lack any motivation but the screenwriter's desire to be "out there") in a pathetic bid to take up the slack for an inane and witless script. Yawn.

A hyperactive, yet dull, irritatingly cartoonish "antic" ... Read More

- You May See Yourself
Every time I watch Spun, I can't help but smile thinking that John Leguizamo was the cute little voice for one of the furry characters in that kids movie Ice Age. In Spun, we find him having phone sex with a lesbian biker (played by Debbie Harry of Blondie) on the other line and he's jumping up and down on the bed working his aparatus thats covered with a sock. It's disturbing and pathetic, but darkly humorous. There is also a spot where Rob Halford of the rock band Judas Priest plays a porn shop ... Read More

- crazy
This movie is seriously "SPUN" unless you had a drug addiction to crank you would not understand this particular movie. the people in this video played their roles very well.

- Not as bad as I thought it was.
Spun (Jonas Akerlund, 2002)

The DVD box for Spun has a blurb on it calling it "a classic of drug cinema". Which strikes me as saying "the cutest hemorrhagic fever imaginable" or something like that. When you're in a genre containing such deathless film classics as Half Baked and How High?, it doesn't strike me that you really have to reach all that high to grab the bar, now, do you?

The story revolves around Ross (Rushmore's Jason Schwartzman, whose career has been downhill ... Read More
