Top 10 Movie Drug Dealers
#9
The Cookplayed by Mickey Rourkein Spun (2002)
Jonas Ackerlands 2002 directorial debut Spun has the hyperactivity of a three minute music promo for its entire hundred minute running time; if Ackerland wanted to capture the feeling of a crank binge then he certainly succeeded. Spun was more miss than hit but features a performance from Mickey Rourke that proves that his supposed wilderness period was more a case of Hollywood not taking any notice (lets not forget he also did Sin City during the years he was supposedly dropping his pants for money). As the cowboy hat wearing drug dealer known only as The Cook, operating a meth lab out of a motel room, Rourke is on fine form and gets the lions share of the films best moments, including one thought-provoking monologue about pussy (not the feline kind). As the film jerks towards its finale, most of the speed-freaks at the centre of the tale get some much needed shut-eye but not The Cook forced to move his lab when he burns down the motel room, he ends up operating from a run down trailer which he also manages to blow up, along with himself. Imparting his wisdom and musings on his customers, and invariably anyone wholl listen, The Cook is one of the more philosophical dealers on our list.
