Salton Sea (US Version) DVD Region 1

Caught up in the permanent nighttime of the habitual methamphetamine user, Danny Parker (Val Kilmer) and his friends close the curtains so they can't tell what time of day it is. But while his associates revel in their highs, Danny is haunted by his previous life as Tom Van Allen, a trumpet player who lost his wife (Chandra West) in the crossfire of a shoot out. In an effort to find his wife's killer, Tom became a police informant, adopting a heavily-tattooed disguise. When he discovers that a Mexican drug lord has put a hit out on him, Danny decides to pull one last score--unfortunately involving Pooh-Bear (Vincent D'Onofrio), a childlike kingpin with a penchant for torture and a yawning void where his nose once was. D.J. Caruso's debut is a beautifully photographed punk-noir set against the backdrop of a gang of speed freaks in contemporary L.A. Opening with a brief history of methamphetamine, THE SALTON SEA immediately establishes an original tone for its kaleidoscopic tour through well-traveled territory. Taking its cue from the wave of mid-1990s crime films, the script by Tony Gayton (MURDER BY NUMBERS) delivers the usual doses of hip "gallows" humor, but also infuses the proceedings with dollops of pain and loss, often shifting the tone to that of the more soulful, responsible crime films of the 1970s.

"...D'Onofrio creates a rock-the-house villain. He's the fire in the belly of this cool groove of a movie..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 05/09/2002

"...It's a sharp movie..." - Tim, Cogshell (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 05/01/2002

"...Val Kilmer seems especially refreshed....D'Onofrio goes positively gaga as a monstrous, noseless meth boss who practically dares viewers to watch him..." - Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 05/03/2002

"...THE SALTON SEA grabs us from the opening scenes....Gayton has penned a film noir narration that is unusually eloquent and includes touches of wicked humor..." - Stephen, Farber (Movieline Critic), Movieline's Hollywood Life, 04/01/2002

"...It contains elements of startling originality....D'Onofrio is a gifted actor....Endlessly, grotesquely, inventive..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 05/10/2002
