Sex. Death. Sex and death. David Cronenberg plays all the hits in his adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s novel about a group of turned-on car-crash enthusiasts who go further and further in their pursuit of souped-up kicks. James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, and Holly Hunter kink up the screen, despite Spader’s character’s penchant for mom jeans. -Lee Gardner
