Danny Parker (VAL KILMER) is a man in search of redemption, consumed by a sense of loneliness and alienation. Following the death of his wife (CHANDRA WEST), he is set adrift in a seedy underworld inhabited by an eclectic, and often comical, cast of characters united principally by their choice of drug: crystal methamphetamine. An accomplished jazz musician, Danny is now a low-life "tweaker" in Los Angeles who leads us through a frenzied maze, one from which he must emerge before his tenuous grip on reality snaps for good. In a bold attempt Danny secretly hatches a plan to serve as middle-man in a lucrative drug deal. With the help of his friend Jimmy "The Finn" (PETER SARSGAARD), Danny is introduced to Pooh-Bear (VINCENT D'ONOFRIO), a methamphetamine baron with a penchant for sadistic recreational games, who seals the deal. But in this mad world, nothing - most of all Danny - is what it seems. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Vadság. Vizuálisan lélegzetelállító, a 8 milliméter film szellemében. Val Kilmer egyik legjobb szerepe és a különösen lökött rosszfiúk parádéja - az orr nélküli Vincent D'Onofrio súlyosan elnyomta a gyomromat. De van, amiben az Igazság helyett film akadozik. A képi álművészeti betéteknek (trombitás, tenger, fa) nincs helye benne, ugyanakkor az állandó dinamikus forma és az erősen lélektani tartalom közötti harmónia is recseg. Joel Schumacher ebben a tekintetben jobb volt. Stabilan megmaradt a lélektani vizeken, és csak a kiválasztott jelenetekben fokozta a dinamikát. Nem fulladt bele.

A visually stunning film, but one that lags behind its much stronger and denser brethren in terms of content (8MM, Requiem for a Dream, etc.).

SAlton Sea is not flawless and certainly not groundbreaking film. It is just a well-made genre film with a functional script and a range of interesting fully-fledged characters. When attempting psychological artistic images, the film treads on very uncertain ground, but fortunately the criminal storyline with a series of wild tragicomic camera trips into the bizarre drug addict community prevails. Val Kilmer delivers a good performance, Deborah Unger's acting is reliable, and the repugnant criminal characters created by D'Onofrio and Guzmán create a cocktail that can satisfy even the most demanding film fan. Overall impression 75%.
