Critics Consensus

A chaotic drug movie that has little substance behind the stylistic flash.

Like an ex-addict reminiscing over their days of dependence, it's dead behind the eyes: hollowed out. Go to Full Review

m s Nov 18 The critics here obviously don't use drugs. There are only a handful of movies that accurately portray what drug use is like. This is one of them. See more Brandon R Jun 29 Spun is a very accurate, but overly hammy account of life in Eugene Springfield at the time. All day, every day. Tribute to the music(Ozzy), tribute to the culture/subculture ( incredible drugs), TRIBUTE TO BRITTANY MURPHY RIP we love and miss you. See more Jun 18 Its a unique thrilling movie didn't get bored once through the 1h41m runtime great watching for 2002! Such a long time ago damn! See more Blobbo X @Blobbo May 31 Five stars for depiction of drug-fueled world. Zero for "family viewing." 5 again for "Degree of triggering" if you've even used or been hooked-on cocaine, crack, crank, crystal meth or any of those. Proved thought-provoking for Blobbo, but disturbing. (Movie almost as nuts as being hooked.) See more Niko H May 17 Watched this movie when I was around 10-11 & I never did hard drugs because of it. Made me understand why some of my family members were the way they were. Great movie but can be a lil too much at times. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 10/11/2024 This is an incredible film. And I know why some people down it, one scene in particular is quite strong. But it is central to the story. If you're uptight, you won't like it. But if you appreciate great acting, music, and some dark comedic moments, it's great. See more Read all reviews
