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.

Salton Sea, The Angelina Jolie stars as an FBI profiler tracking down a murderer who has been taking over the identity of his victims before moving on to his next target
Beginning with a title sequence reminiscent of the innovative credits used for Seven, this Montreal-set serial killer chiller is at best a derivative distraction that mutilates much better examples of the genre. Any promise director DJ Caruso had shown with his debut, the 2002 drug drama The Salton Sea, is squandered here.
Adapted by Jon Bokenkamp from the novel by Michael Pye, Taking Lives stars Angelina Jolie in yet another career-threatening role as a smart and sensual FBI profiler na...

This film is amazing. No holes barred at the top of the list of great movies. If you saw 'the Narc' and liked it this will be great for you. Val kilmers best preformance to date. This film has amazing characters 'Pooh Bear' possibley being one of my favourite characters of all time a sadistic drug dealer with no nose. The story tells of danny who's life is consumed with find those who killed his wife. But his life and circles he now involves himself in are very different. I've said enough I'll only reck it if I go on. But look out for 'Pooh Bear'.
