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

 Honest look at the life of a tweeker - besides the free dope for rides. December 9, 2009

very honest, does not romanticize the drug like so many other movies do. heavy if you have a past drug history. If you don't it's probably ok. Will be funny to those who are still using speed.
 A treat for speed freaks and ex-speed freaks... Buy the Unrated Version Only!!! December 3, 2009

"Spun" is a great portrayal of what life can be like while consuming massive amounts of methamphetamine. The movie takes place in several grungy and grimy sets, mainly people's homes. The movie not only glorifies the fun aspects of speed, but it also shows the downside (which most addicts will tell you there are plenty of). The main character, Ross, is an addict getting progressively worse off on the drugs by meeting and driving around a "cook", played masterfully by Mickey Rourke. The film is stylishly directed, the acting is good, and the story is the closest representation to meth life I've ever seen. "Spun" also features awesome new music by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan. The music really fits in well with the film. I recommend this film for anyone who is familiar with meth use, otherwise, the movie may sort of go over a non-user's head. The Unrated Version is the ONLY way to go. DO NOT BUY THE R-Rated version. There are many crucial scenes either missing or censored. In the end, "Spun" is a great movie with good emotional ups and downs. Check it out.
