Summary: Brilliant Film
Review: Absolutely smashing yarn! Cheers! For fans of Mickey Roarke this is a must see flick. The entire cast is brilliant. It was nice to see Deborah Harry (aka Blondie) appear as a very authentic bull-dyke dressed in studded black leather vest and pantaloons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Unique and original
Review: This is a very and unique movie. Since others have explained the story line I won't go into it but if you are into different movies then this might be for you. I thought the camera shots were fantastic and it really gave the movie a feel that has never been done before. All in all a good movie (especially if you like drugs).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: overrated
Review: This is nothing more than a more funny version of Requiem for a Dream which in my opinion is one of the worst movies ever made. This "stylish" way of filming utilizes close-ups and too many different angles and special effects. Many times i had to look away from the screen because certain scenes are very intense and confusing. Many single shot images all thrown together. I see no talent or art in this movie. They really don't show the reality of meth abuse. I know because i lived it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: RENT THE UNRATED VERSION
Review: The rated version is totally worthless. This is a good movie, but the editing on the rated version is so terrible, not to mention why would you rent a movie about Meth addicts anyway, if you wanted the PG version.

RENT THE UNRATED VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a ride
Review: This movie was great.I thought it was very true to life. The actors played good junkies and it shows how drugs can ruin your life FAST. It was humorous as well as heart breaking. The only thing that disapoints me, is there is NO SOUNDTRACK. The music was awesome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all SPUN out
Review: Extreme. Graphic. Brutal. Beautiful. This movie shows a true artform in film that the Hollywood World has seem to forgotten. Even better, it tends to drive a deep message on what happens when chemicals get the worst of you. Ross (Jason Shwartzman), a lost collage drop out with a troubled mind finds himself as a personal driver for a local meth cook (Mickey Rourke) in exchange for drugs. Only to find the end in a supurb twist. In the midst a world of sex, drugs, and corrupt law enforcement ensuthe. Starring John Leguizamo as Spider Mike, a spaced out meth dealer. Mena Suvari as Cookie, Spider Mike's twacked out girlfrien. Britney Murphy as The Cook's lady friend. And Many More. This movie has beautiful cinematics, an even better sound track, and a twisted yet comedic story that will blow your mind. This is a must see flick!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: doped up idiots will love it, everyone else stay away
Review: Who really cares about a bunch of meth addicts? This movie is stupid and pathetic. It is a total migrane-inducing mess. It's a couple hours of your life that you'll never get back. The whole movie is just following these morons around while they go to porno stores and other dumb places. (Although I was suprised to see Rob Halford as the porno store clerk! that was amusing!) This is one of those movies where all the drug-addict idiots that you know will tell you,"whoa, dude! that movie, like, rocks!" Kind of like Natural Born Killers. This movie is a real turkey!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Spun = Don't Bother
Review: I don't have a problem with the subject matter, language, etc. that some people have an issue with. I also saw "Requiem for a Dream" and although it was a bit disturbing - was definitely a great film worth watching. I won't give any details - it's been a while since I've seen it - but it had a good story, plot and character development. In Requiem, the characters and plot were actually going somewhere. In Spun the story was putting myself and I imagine most of the people who have seen it asleep.

The people who say Spun is a Requiem wannabe are exactly right. Picture an MTV music video director trying his hardest to string together a pointless group of scenes together and this is what you'll get. The movie held my attention for about the first fifteen minutes. There were a couple of funny scenes - but I think some of the reviewers that gave this film good reviews must have been high themselves when they were watching the movie. You gotta be able to care about at least one of the main characters in your film. Ross (Schwartzman) was a love lost loser. The actors for the most part are good actors - Schwartzman, Brittney Murphy, John Leguizamo. I've loved them in other movies they were in. Blame the screenwriter and director. Who know why actors of such high calibre would agree to be in such a piece of garbage - maybe they owed the director a favor?

Don't bother

Summary: 0 out of 5 stars
Review: A few words to describe this movie are: completely sick, demented, distrubing, nauseating, inhumane. We all know drugs exist and that people who are addicted to them live in messed up dark worlds of their own. But to make a movie about that, with no real point is completely stupid. This movie consists of no plot and no conclusion. A bunch of people stay awake for days while on Meth and the movie ends with them all asleep. If you like watching people crapping into tiolets, or getting strapped onto beds and left there for days to suffer, than this is your movie. About half way through this movie I felt completely sick to my stomach and couldn't even look at the cover afterwards. In my opinion, anyone who likes this movie is seriously messed up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great trip show
Review: This movie was really really FUNNY. It seems like many of the other reviews are showing the movie as serious, so i was expecting another Requium for a dream. But the only real similarity was the vision of drugs and how they send a life on a downward course. SPUN is just an engaging film with lots of humor, likeable characters, and some really messed up *@@! happening to them all.
To truly apreciate the actors you must also see- RUSHMORE and ALMOST FAMOUS. Jason Schwartsman is a totaly different nerd in Rushmore, and Patrick Fuquit was the likeable star in Almost Famous. Both of these guys play extremely different but likable parts in this movie. I was pleasantly surprised and am now big fans of both of these actors.
BILLY CORGAN does the music, and its great. I just need the soundtrack-which doesnt exist. Corgan also has a small appearance in the movie. Hes wearing a big yellow wig.
Get the unrated version- it has lots of nudity of one especially hot blond. Britney Murphy was really hot in this movie too, even though she is supposedly a junkie. she has a dance scene at a strip club, but no nudity of course.
Anyway- Get this movie as fast as you can. It will spin you.
