Ok, I was hesitatant at first because of Paul Walker, but let me say I enjoyed this movie very much. It had some interesting, and fucked up shit. Had some funny moments as well. Guess I went in with somewhat low expectations and was surprised by it. I definately recommend it.

Anyway, I just watched this and it was better than I expected from something with Paul Walker in it. It's a bit light on plot. This movie is mostly all about style. But it does a good job keeping one interested and watching.
Roger Ebert wrote:Speaking of movies that go over the top, "Running Scared" goes so far over the top, it circumnavigates the top and doubles back on itself; it's the Mobius Strip of over-the-topness. I am in awe. It throws in everything but the kitchen sink. Then it throws in the kitchen sink, too, and the combo washer-dryer in the laundry room, while the hero and his wife are having sex on top of it.
I thought the ending was a bit weak and cheesy however.
I just saw this (the one with Paul Walker, not the old, stupid one) and I really enjoyed it. Very entertaining, violent movie, and I definitely agree with Ebert's comments.
When Oleg got into the back of that van with the married couple, and that whole scene... wow. That was great how those creepy bastards got what they deserved. "I'd like to report hearing gunshots..."

Like most, I was pretty skeptical after seeing Paul Walker's name over it... but it was a pleasant surprise. Entertaining, violent, disturbing, and occasionally humorous, this is definitely worth a rental.
