Im in love with this movie


When I first saw this movie I fell in love with it, it was a great entertaining stylish noir of a flick, beautifully directed with a great soundtrack, and some awesome acting to boot. Salton Sea doesnt come across as a true great film, more like a hidden gem, a treasure if you may.

Yes, this is a hidden treasure. Kilmer is at his best. Great independent film. Not to mention Vincent D'Onofrio's killer performance as Pooh-Bear! How can we forget this one?

This movie was an absolute hidden treasure. Because of my profession, and where I live, I have a lot of exposure to tweakers, and this movie nails it, yet makes it entertaining.
