Summary: It was pretty good
Review: If you want to see the greatest drug movie known to man with the greatest plot on earth, don't see this. I think people who give this movie low ratings expected too much. It's a comedy about drugs. That's what the plan was from the begining. Those of us who've been keeping track of this movie knew that.The NR version is a little harder to swallow than the R rated version, but what would you expect? There's a lot of sex and swearing, but again, what do you expect? It's a drug movie. The NR movie is better, not question, but if you really think you'd have trouble seeing it, see the R rated one. It was a fairly disturbing movie with a twisted sense of humor. If you're into that type of thing, this movie is definitly for you. It's not a great movie, and no one here's going to deny that. However, it's entertaining. I give this a rating of 4 Stars because it was better than I expected it to be. I saw it for one reason and one reason alone: Billy Corgan. Yeah, that's right, I'm another Smashing Pumpkins\Zwan fan who went to see this for Billy's camio and music. The music was excellent, it was all acoustic, which set a nice mood. However, I was pleased to find out that I would've enjoyed the movie with or without his music. It's funny and interesting. The camera work was quite good, and it had a nice artistic edge to it. To sum up, if you want to watch a movie that is not at all a family movie, but has a twisted sense of humor with a disturbing plot, get the movie. If you want a fabulous movie with incredable characters and the greatest plot under the sun, go see something else.

Summary: Amazingly stylish and on-target
Review: Despite the naysayers (who should not be watching a movie like this in the first place), Spun is a devastatingly accurate portrayal of tweaker life, imbued with enough comedy and poignancy to make a good story. Brittany Murphy has outdone herself, and all of the fine cast have demonstrated great range and courage by tackling this material. Former music-video-director Jonas Åkerlund brings exactly the right touch to a movie about meth freaks, and his twitchy, rapid-cut style pulls the viewer into the feeling of runaway speed. If you have any interest in drug movies or counterculture life, or god forbid you have been part of this scene, then check out this masterpiece of the genre.

Summary: One of my favorite drug movies of all time
Review: I can understand why some people didn't like this movie, because it's really intense, and if you haven't experienced hard drugs it might not make sense to you. This movie does one of the best jobs I've seen of portraying crystal meth addicts; it's disgusting, depressing and frightening. If you want to know what it's like to be a hardcore tweaker, check it out.

Summary: Blech!
Review: I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this movie.2 HOURS, I will never regain! I'm not sure what this movie was trying to prove or accomplish, but if it was to irritate me, it succeded. Tweakers, are some of the biggest piles of sewage in the world. Why someone had to waste money, time, and film that could've been used to make a good movie, to make a flick about them is beyond me. The only thing this movie proves, is that Britany Murphy should not be on any screen, anywhere, at any time. If you want a real life acount of these people, go hang out at your local auto parts store or 24 hour discount retail chain and observe.

Summary: rip off of two films.
Review: This film, as it has already discussed, is kind of a rip off of requim. The directing is similar but the storyline and the style really rips of the salton sea. Many of the charecters are the same and the over style of the charecters. I was very disapointed. If you want a good movie about meth, get the salton sea, its much more powerfull, entertaining and though provoking. It is also more original than this garbage.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: A brilliant and original film. I was tremendously impressed. While some have mentioned a probable influence by REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, the big difference is REQUIEM is not remotely-nowhere near-as great as SPUN.

Summary: Stylish
Review: This film was a big surprise for me.
(Read above for the film summary).
The film was well acted by all, especially Brittany Murphy, and the film was very stylish and imaginative (excellent use of animation during hallucinations). Directed by Jonus Akerland (who directed Madonna's Ray Of Light video), you can see he has a trade mark style -face paced, sped up imagery.
Really enjoyable, gritty, funny and stylish.

Summary: Actually not that bad.
Review: For some reason I expected this movie to be terrible. But it really wasn't that bad. Jonas Akerlund, who has directed music videos such as Madonna's "Ray of Light", makes his film debut with this drug movie. He does a pretty good job of creating a crazy drug indused world and his casting for the most part is also suprisingly good. Most impressive was Brittany Murphy who does a great job in this movie. Mickey Rourke, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Roberts, Patrick Fugit and John Leguizamo are also very good. However Mena Suvari is nothing short of awful. But the part that I enjoyed the most was the music. Billy Corgan contributed several new songs that create an eery, sad and beautiful world that these characters inhabit. Akerlund uses many of the cliched techniques to bring the audience into this world of crystal meth, that have been used many times before, like quick cutting. However he also uses many techniques that are clearly his own and that actually resemble the "Ray of Light" video. Overall this is certainly worth giving a chance if you like drug films. It still feels like it's trying too hard to be "Requiem" though.

Summary: "boring"
Review: I rented Spun expecting a good Saturday night movie to watch but all I got was a plain, boring and poorly done drug movie. The characters are nothing but an annoyance through out the movie. At one point you just want the characters to just stop speaking and with mildly interesting dialogue it's just not worth your time. The whole thing just made me feel dirty to be honest. I took a shower when it was over. It was a gross and nasty movie that didn't spark my interest and was very distastful.There are much better ways to spend your money than on this junk. Spun didn't have much of a plot. The film's B-list cast couldn't save in either. If anything thing the cast made Spun even worse. Avoid this pathetic movie at all costs. If you buy Spun don't expect a well acted masterpiece but lower your expectations and don't get your hopes up. To be totally honest when I bought Spun I knew that it wasn't going to be very good because I didn't like the particular cast that were chosen for the roles and that should have been a warning. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Summary: Best crystal meth movie I've seen
Review: To anyone that has had the misfortune to find themselves in this scene, you will recognize a lot of the personalities in this movie. It's a must see.
