In the Imperial Valley of Southern California there is a little known body of water 226 feet below sea level, one of the lowest points in the United States. As there is no outlet from this sea, water is being removed only by evaporation, which results in a salinity level more than 25 percent higher than the Pacific Ocean. There is an eerie stillness to this vast sea, and a peculiar density to the water. This lake is the Salton Sea. Set against this remote and mysterious landscape, an unexpected and brutal crime leaves an innocent woman, caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, dead at the hands of masked gunmen. Her husband's life is left in ruins, his every waking moment haunted by the recurring imagery of the murder he witnessed, but was powerless to prevent. "The Salton Sea" is a character-driven crime thriller about an unlikely hero entangled in a web of deceit and treachery. Full of unexpected twists and turns, this is a compelling and emotionally-charged story about loss and recovery set to the lonely resonant tones of jazz great Miles Davis' horn. Danny Parker (VAL KILMER) is a man in search of redemption, consumed by a sense of loneliness and alienation. Following the death of his wife (CHANDRA WEST), he is set adrift in a seedy underworld inhabited by an eclectic, and often comical, cast of characters united principally by their choice of drug: crystal methamphetamine. An accomplished jazz musician, Danny is now a low-life "tweaker" in Los Angeles who leads us through a frenzied maze, one from which he must emerge before his tenuous grip on reality snaps for good. In a bold attempt Danny secretly hatches a plan to serve as middle-man in a lucrative drug deal. With the help of his friend Jimmy "The Finn" (PETER SARSGAARD), Danny is introduced to Pooh-Bear (VINCENT D'ONOFRIO), a methamphetamine baron with a penchant for sadistic recreational games, who seals the deal. But in this mad world, nothing - most of all Danny - is what it seems.

It's a Great Unknown!!

To most people, this movie isnt well known. I bought it at Walmart years ago and still love it. I have let several friends borrow it and never got a bad review yet. Its the type of Val Kilmer movie we all love. Rent this movie!

My boys

Two of my former employees are now writing films. The first was Joe Gayton for UNCOMMON VALOR. Now his brother Tony had the Salton Sea and Murder by Numbers. They worked for The Hollywood Star newspaper, filling the newsracks in Hollywood as they attended USC studying film. Both are ambitious and have become quite successful. Makes me feel good about them.

Val Kilmer Pulls A Rabbit Out Of The Hat

In the first three minutes of this film, Val Kilmer tells you not to judge him until you have viewed his life (this film). This film begins rather depressingly with several druggie losers and multiple large body tattoos and the worst narcotics -- and our druggie loser Val Kilmer trapped in a fire. A film that begins this low, this fatal, how could it get better? How can we root for such a pathetic loser? Hang in there! You will be surprised at the ending. Really surprised. Next to "Tombstone", one of Val's best. Did I mention, you will be surprised at the ending?

If you like Philip K. Dick, you might like this.

This movie very much reminds me of 'A Scanner Darkly.' It's a unique idea executed pretty well. I think the acting is quite good. To me it's has a similar feel to 'Memento,' and this is the better film.
