Spun (2002)

When paranoid drug dealer Spider Mike (John Leguizamo) and his ricket-toothed girlfriend Cookie (Mena Suvari) are too spun to find their stash, their friend Nikki (Brittany Murphy) steps in, offering to introduce drug-seeking college drop-out Ross (Jason Schwartzman) to her boyfriend, the Cook (Mickey Rourke), a motel-hopping cowboy who is the source of all Spider Mike's crystal methamphetamine. Next thing he knows, Ross is being given large supplies of crank on the understanding that he make himself available at all hours to chauffeur Nikki and the Cook in his beat-up Volvo.
What follows is a sleepless, hallucinatory flurry of errands from the Cook's motel room to a veterinary clinic, from a Foodmart to a liquor store, from a porn shop to a strip club, from Spider Mike's dingy fortress to Ross' one-room flat, and from the Big City to a trailer in the middle of nowhere. With sheer physical exhaustion starting to take its toll, a pair of speed-snorting cops closing in, and Ross' addled conscience beginning to nag him about the naked stripper April (Chloe Hunter) that he has left bound and gagged to his bed for days, it soon becomes 'crystal' clear that what goes up must eventually come down.
