In the real world, drug use is unimaginably boring to watch--but it inspires spectacular visuals in movies like Trainspotting and Drugstore Cowboy. To this list add The Salton Sea, a moody thriller starring Val Kilmer as a musician who goes undercover into the world of speed freaks to find the men who killed his wife. Though that plot summary may sound trite, creative direction, strong performances, and a solid script that shifts to and fro in time make The Salton Sea worth a look. Kilmer has an erratic track record but he's always an intriguing on-screen presence; Vincent D'Onofrio has a field day playing a noseless speed dealer called Pooh Bear. The cast is full of excellent character actors, including Anthony LaPaglia (Lantana), Peter Sarsgaard (Boys Don't Cry), B.D. Wong (Jurassic Park), Deborah Kara Unger (Crash), Adam Goldberg (Saving Private Ryan), and Luis Guzman (The Limey). --Bret Fetzer

Edgy and full of freaks June 30, 2009
Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
The noseless meth freak steals the show in this druggie tale of a man who rats on drug addicts while trying to kill the bad cops who killed his wife. Kilmer is pretty good. He also made an anti-meth documentary unrelated to this. Co-incidence? Nice soundtrack and some great tense moments add up to an entertainment worth watching.

Salton Sea is pretty raunchy but the underlying story is heartbreaking.
Val Kilmer once again demonstrates his ability to convincingly get into any character he portrays. Its also a sad commentary on those who waste their lives in unreality.

A MUST SEE MOVIE! Right up there with Pulp Fiction. This is some of Val Kilmer's best work & an awsome movie. We went to the screening for this movie years ago & have trouble finding it to purchase.

The Bottom Line:
Artfully constructed, splendidly acted (especially in a career-best turn by D'Onofrio as the inimitable "Pooh Bear") and consistently engaging, The Salton Sea is a neo-noir that might have made the originals proud.

If you like movies that are not the norm and kind of trippy, like "Another Day in Paradise", you'll love The Salton Sea. It's a trippy, druggy movie with a little twist. It's got some comedy, nice visuals, some action and it's just good.
