The Salton Sea

            Danny Parker (Val Kilmer, Spartan) is your run-of-the-mill gack-head meth fiend who’s trying to score, make it by, and stay high for the endless night party. But Somewhere along the way he had to get out of a bind, and so he turned into a pigeon. Now he takes note of every detail of a dealers drag, and makes plans to turn them over to the gack-squad.

            Things begin to change when his buddy’s, hairbrained schemers that they are, try to score the motherload by helping a strange cowboy (BD Wong, Father of the Bride) to sell a ton of gack to a deformed dealer named pooh-bear (Vincent Donofrio, Full Metal Jacket).

            Danny is in even more of a bind when his police friends find out that he’s becoming a dealer behind their back. The entire time, Danny is searching for something. The LA drug culture is just the place he’s gone to hide since the death of his wife out near the Salton Sea.

            The final showdown takes place at the Salton Sea as well. The Salton Sea becomes this symbol throughout the film. It’s the place you go to lose everything, and to find out who you really are. It’s a very dynamic Noire piece, and rally presented strongly. I enjoyed this film so much, it made the top 25 of all time.
