Review of The Salton Sea (2002) by Sean K — 12 May 2009
I had the opportunity to see this movie while I was living in LA at the LA film school in an advanced screening with the Director, DJ Caruso. It follows Danny Parker and Tom Van Allen which both happen to be Val Kilmer.
Because of a tragic incident Tom Van Allen becomes the character of Danny Parker in order to dive into the subculture of drugs and crime to get revenge. Another impressive performance comes from Vincent D'Nofrio who plays Pooh Bear, a tweaked out drug dealer.
As in most of D'Nofrio's rolls, he is pretty much unrecognisable. I find this movie to be incredible. I love the characters and the story. Val Kilmer is one of my favorite actors and he is really good at giving a character his all.
I also appreciated the visuals in this movie. I think it was photographed beautifully. If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it. If you can't find it, I'll lend you my copy.
