In the 2002 movie Spun ' college drop out Ross is hired by crystal meth 's Cook ' as his personal driver in exchange for free drugs . Ross chauffers Cook back and forth across North Los Angeles in search of ingredients for the meth which Cook then takes back to his hotel room to cook ' or manufacture . Eventually , this addiction takes Ross further and further away from

reality as viewers just hold on for a wild ride through a massive life on speed in 3 days of 24-hour cycles

Swedish-born director Jonas Akerlund , more known for his Directorial credits for fascinating music videos , including those of Madonna , U2 and Robbie Williams , does an excellent job in transferring his talent to the other ' screen

In analyzing this film , I must state that I did not find any of the characters to be at all dull . Mickey Rourke who played the part of The Cook with his cool , menacing presence was awesomely believable . It may be an overstated phrase , but in this case Rourke was indeed born to play the role ' of Cook . Jason Swartzman plays the character of Ross the rapidly disintegrating , out-of-control speed freak while Mena Suvari plays his bizarre and repugnant girlfriend Cookie . John Leguizamo was perfectly cast to play Spider Mike . Spider Mike is a tattooed paranoid with all kinds of frenzied energy who frustrates everyone around him due to his inability to concentrate . Patrick Fugit plays the acne-ridden video game addict youth Frisbee who hangs out with Spider Mike . Brittany Murphy plays the Cook 's stripper girlfriend and does so as brilliantly and uniquely as the part can be played . The singer Deborah Harry plays a nosey lesbian neighbor with a fascination for the martial arts . Even the cops playing ' a Cops episode were a pleasure to watch . Every actor and actress in this film is entertaining to watch regardless of how you feel about the content of the film . I would state that in all of the roles , the actors and actresses suit the characters so well it seems the parts were created around them rather than vice-versa

If one knows the content of the movie before seeing it , I doubt the audience would be very shocked at the amount of pervasive drug content nudity , violence , strong sexuality , profanity and the raw , gritty discordant along with the extremely dark nature of this film . With that said , however , the film also manages to be hilarious unlike the movie some see as its more serious counterpart , Requiem for a Dream

The movie Spun ' is made available in the rated version and the unrated version . In the rated version some of the profanity is edited out and anatomical parts are blurred . The more realistic un-rated version gives the viewer the unedited sense of the disturbing darkness the complete Oxford of profanity , and the unedited anatomy . Either...
