The overall voyage on The Salton Sea is an uneasy one hampered by a confusing story that admits out loud it doesn't know where it's going.July 12, 2002
For what it is, it's well-done -- a stylized-beyond-reality derivation of Natural Born Killers, perhaps. Or a more gonzo version of Go or Blow. But the heart has been stylized out of it.July 12, 2002
If there's no art here, it's still a good yarn -- which is nothing to sneeze at these days.August 23, 2002
Repellent yet intriguing, brutal yet funny, wicked yet strangely compassionate, The Salton Sea is more about mixing genres and styles than illuminating a credible reality.May 21, 2002
A thriller with an edge -- which is to say that it doesn't follow the stale, standard, connect-the-dots storyline which has become commonplace in movies that explore the seamy underbelly of the criminal world.July 16, 2003
Marked by an ambitious style and solid performances, but hampered by a story that buries its primary focus until late in the game.December 08, 2002
Is authenticity too much to ask? It's not as if the various drug subcultures don't have enough humor and tragedy built in that you need to take a detour into Fantasyland.July 25, 2003
Com boas atuações de Kilmer e D'Onofrio, o filme tem um roteiro razoável, mas sem foco. Salva-se graças ao interessante personagem principal.January 07, 2004

It's a sort of rollercoaster ride through the salvaged wreckage of a hundred similar movies.July 20, 2002
Sacrificing content for style, Caruso gives us a lot to look at but little to ponder.May 17, 2002
Lovable absurdity is the saving grace of a drug movie, and on the rare occasion that this genre works, the head trip winds up being a worthwhile journey.
