Spun (2002)

Spun is an independent film direct by Jonas Åkerlund. This is Åkerlund's début as a film Director. Spun is a slang for the way users feel after going multiple days without sleep while on a Meth trip. This film was shot in 22 days.

This movie is a straight up Methampetamine movie with not much of any dramatic tales or twist that you can expect from "My Requeim for a Dream". An out-of-control speed freak (Schwartzman) is introduced his drug of choice's creator (Rourke) by his dealer (Leguizamo). A massive three-day adventure ensues (with Fugit, Murphy, and Suvari in tow).

For a film that was shot in 22 dats there is not much i can say about this film other then its worth a watch for all Meth freaks & for those who are curious about Meth trips. Though some scenes are slightly exaggerated but most of it stays true to the effects of Meth. So Enjoy!


Memorable Quote :

The Cook: [telling a story to Ross, whose asleep in the passenger seat] I tell ya, I remember a time when I was about... I was little, I don't know... 4, 5 something like that. We had this old dog that had a litter of puppies. And I walked in the bathroom one day and my Mother was standing there, kneeling down... Dog had a litter of about 8, and my Mother was bending over killing each one of these little puppies in the bathtub. I remember I said 'why?'... She said 'Im just killing what I can't take care of' - Then my momma said to me, she looked at me and she said 'I wish I could do that to you'. - Maybe she, maybe she shoulda.
