''The Salton Sea'' is a 2002 crime / neo-noir film starring [[Val Kilmer]], Vincent D'Onofrio and [[Peter Sarsgaard]]. It follows the story of Danny Parker (Val Kilmer), a former trumpet player and speek freak who works as an informant for two seedy undercover cops. But he moves away from the small time drug parties, and becomes involved with the sadistic drug dealer Pooh-Bear. The film was received reasonably well and showed that Val Kilmer still had it when it comes to acting, however it's a film that is still mostly under the radar of the average movie-goer. |

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Bobby the dealer is incoherent and rambling, and threatens Danny and his friend Jimmy with a spear gun. But he's somewhat ineffectual due to being drugged out from his own drug supply. Pooh-Bear on the other hand is both crazy and incredibly dangerous. The first scene we see with Pooh-Bear is him and his buddies recreating the JFK assassination with pidgeons in a remote controlled car. This definately drives the point home. |
