This was a fun trip. Apprently the film maker is a recovering meth head and created this movie to convey the idea of being "spun" to his audience. The filming style is shocking at first, but after a few scenes you forget completely about the odd delivery and sink into the story which is involving but fairly light. I sort of expected there to be really dark moments in the life of the drug addicted, but it was all fun even the arrests and explosions. I guess maybe that was part of the perception of being on meth, it's an upper so depression wasn't really included at all in the story. The characters ran about until they were arrested then ran about some more. Jason Schwartman's character was slightly unbelievable just because i don't think he would've been that successful with women. He didn't seem to have much going for him, but it threw some stunning female characters into the mix. Especially his ex-gf who found success while he was shitting away his life on meth; She was fucking beautiful, although only had one line. Overall a bunch of good performaces and it was nice to see Mickey Rourke again so soon after the Wrestler, really great actor. His character stole the show for me as the Cook. The only reason it gets a 4 and not a 5 is because i think the film maker had the opportunity to capture some real darkness with his delivery but kept it a little light and fluffy for my tastes.
4/5
