The Salton Sea

if you like this stuff you might like this aweful movie, but my bet is you wont be able to stand the first 15 minutes. This thing is boring and slow. the acting was not even believable. We had to turn... Full review

VERY UNAPPEALING CHARACTERS MAKE THIS FILM HARD TO TOLERATE. ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE BLEAK, DREARY AND VIOLENT FILMS WHERE YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT A SINGLE PERSON IN THE FILM. DEPRESSING AS HELL.... Full review

Outstanding, Humorous, Dramatic. I think it's Val Kilmers best performance yet. I didn't know if i should laugh or cry. It's not a chick flick at all. Pooh Bear will keep you laughing (and disgusted) for days. i highly sugest it,... Full review

Val is one of our greatest actors. One of the most depressing and fullfilling movies i've seen.You don't know what's gonna' hit you next.... Full review

This is a weird but very well written movie with some great acting by the one, the only Val Kilmer. He is one of my favorite actors of all-time. I can't believe this only has a b- on yahoo. That's terrible.... Full review

The Salton Sea is a malovolent digression into the depths of the nocturnal in Los Angeles... but what a digression it is! Easily the best surprise of 2002 as Val Kilmer and Vincent D'Onofrio turn in Oscar worthy performances.... Full review

This revenge thriller, the first feature film of director D.J. Caruso, is stylishly drawn, cunningly plotted and well acted.....Who he is and how he got here is the central concern of the film....the director and screenwriter don't trip us up with a hokey ending.....A range of gritty characters inhabit it and atmospheric shots of L.A. back streets and outskirts give it a well-worn, urban feel.....we are first taken to the scene where he and his ragged cast of friends hang out, do drugs and cut deals..... ... Full Review

Repellent yet intriguing, brutal yet funny, wicked yet strangely compassionate, The Salton Sea is more about mixing genres and styles than illuminating a credible reality.....Even smaller roles are well cast, with Shirley Knight, R. Lee Ermey, Meat Loaf, Danny Trejo and B.D. Wong.....It's fitting that The Salton Sea finally hits Houston just as Pulp Fiction gets a lavish DVD edition..... ... Full Review

Any one of these things would have made a decent film....No, it's not because the film is bad.....It's an eccentrically humorous character study.....Unfortunately, this gets Danny in trouble with a dealer he can't bring down, Domingo, who vows to find him and kill him.....OK, give director D.J. Caruso (whose films were mostly made for TV until this one) high marks for at least trying to do things differently, something most filmmakers wouldn't even dare consider..... ... Full Review

By turns brutally outrageous and modishly too-cool-for-room, The Salton Sea is occasionally entertaining (a crew of villains restage the Kennedy assassination with pigeons in a remote-controlled car).....Peppered by strange characters, assembled as a series of out-of-order flashbacks, Danny's story is part noiry nightmare, part scam saga, and part junkie-underground travelogue.....Arranged via standard junkie-movie hallucinatory wide-angles and saturated colors, The Salton Sea 's many parts are more strikin ... Full Review

Whatever happened, there was usually a good story attached to it.....The very first page of the screenplay was exciting to read..... ... Full Review

The Salton Sea opens with a trumpeter in hell kind of thing, sort of a Chet Baker in Drugstore Cowboy image where Danny Parker (Val Kilmer) plays a mournful Miles in a cool hat while bundles of cold cash burn ... Full Article
