Life for this crew is all about the junk, the stuff you shoot into your veins, snort when necessary. Tell yourself you’re not addicted, that you can stop on a dime whenever that day comes. No problemo. Anyone who isn’t an addict can see immediately that self-deception of these people.
Anyway, Spun is essentially an attempt at an American version of Trainspotting but director Jonas Ackerlund doesn’t come close to the humanizing success Danny Boyle had with that film. Depending on Mickey Rourke for a major role is a good predictor, I’d say, and trampling too many storylines on top of each other is another. Ackerlund’s done some terrific work with music videos but not here.
don’t bother
