I didn?t know much about this before I watched it and it turned out to be a nice surprise! A great little film with a pretty good cast!
Despite its wackiness, it wasn't particularly funny. I should've known from the inclusion of John Leguizamo that that would be the case, but I digress. It was worth it to see Jason Schwartzman and Patrick Fugit; Brittany Murphy wasn't too bad either.
It's been three years since I last screened this movie, so watching it last night and reflecting upon all the horror movies I've been watching, I realize that I've been letting too many movies get away with sloppy scripts. As SPUN demonstrates, a great script is easily achievable...( read more)
This movie was kind of like a much more dirty adult version of 'Better of Dead' with no happy ending, mixed with a Trainspotting like message but tabout meth addiction, I had to go take a shower after the film was over.

INSANE..it's one of a kind..it really displays original emotions and reactions..
amazing editing,great cast..the script is kind of simple if u think about it but the story takes u with it...it's better to watch it after having a joint or 2

Ultimately, plot complication and freneticism can't distract us from noticing that the movie has no insights, no point, no urgency and no importance. full review
Spun is slummishly stylish, occasionally funny, and pretty much devoid of meaning. full review
The lack of narrative sobriety and the director's shallow stylistic copycatting ... is the film's ultimate undoing. full review
I love this movie. Please god, everyone watch it. It showed and explained drugs perfectly;)..Katie<3
