One of the worst movies I've ever seen

one of my absolute favorites!

A Major Disappointment

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

"Running Scared" is extremely graphically violent movie, but the most amazing thing about it is not that of course. It is not the great acting performances, or neither is the perfectly written script. The way the movie was shot, and the special effects are made, is the most great about it IMO.I do not what more to say, except GIVE IT A SHOT, I think the most people will like it, and even if you do not like so much gore, swearing etc. you will still appreciate the well made movie, and if you ever did not liked Paul Walker, you will love him in this one. Vera Farmiga does a pretty god damn good role also, and the two young actors are fabolous. In addition, I want to say in the beginning I thought that Paul Walker is the one who is running scared, but it is actually the russians's girl son : )

So I reading some reviews and seriously speaking a 7.4 overall is just too low. Now I understand that is pretty high on here. Cause some reason everybody wants to compare every movie to the godfather and gone with the wind. And i love the godfther but lets be real. This was made in 2006 and I'm not sure if you can find another action movie that kept you on the edge of your seat 10 years after it.I can't think of any. And if I could the acting wouldn't be the same. One thing a lot of people forgot to mention in these reviews. You can watch this movie over and over. Heck I even forgot about the ending. And I've seen this like 5 times already. And where a lot of action movies lack is they drift off and its either not too much action or they play out for the audience at the time. This movie brought it. Notice the female character fits no such stereotypes. Thats a win right there. Her character alone was part of the movie and added so much to it. You can just in this movie and wonder what is going to happen. Who is going to get shot, if anybody will get busted. I was once again so impressed with the acting that even the kid who is the main character as well is great at acting. Seems like a natural. Even the ending was great. I must say I hear a lot of talk about fast and the furious. And Paul walker was great in those movies (may he rest in peace). But this movie never gets mentioned and I don't know why. The car as well was an attraction.

One of the best movies ever made. Makes Quentin Tarantino films look tame. Great story and great characters. Constantly moving action. Not a single moment boring and not predictable on any level. Great set pieces. Fantastic cinematography. Crooked cops, Russian and Italian mobs, drug dealers and pimps, all covered without being contrived. A real modern fairy tale. A sure neoclassic. Have recommended to all kinds of people, from librarians to white and blue collar professionals - all agreed it was one of the most unique film experiences ever. Put aside your genre preferences and see this unique masterpiece of story telling. You will not regret it.

I'm amazed on how people find this movie good or even casual good...I mean yeah you got interesting actors and that's it,besides that the characters and presented in a way that it seems that an 8 year old wrote this movie, all the characters are empty and surreal stereotypes or feel taken out of a soap opera(no I take that back..soap operas are bad,but this movie it's an offense to even soap operas)besides that the story it's so bad that they had to take a plot(a bad one BTW) and just say..OK let's complicate this as much as we can and roll with it.I'm baffled at how this movie has such a high score...I'm gonna pretend that it's a pay for review campaign just to be able to maintain a slight hope for humanity.
