A Run Away Train Wreck
24 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I can say it was entertaining throughout, but for all the wrong reasons. It started out like an average Hollywood criminal Action Movie and proceeds to spin completely out of control. The Screenwriter must have wanted to include every hot topic out there, there were drugs, guns, domestic abuse, child abductions, Pimps & street walkers, crooked cops, the Italian Mob, the Russian mob, Corrupt hockey players(???), a meth lab exploding and even a family dog at the end. All this held together by the acting talents of Paul Walker.

Walker, is a common thug in deep with the mob and is told to get rid of a gun after a deal goes bad. Instead he hides the gun in his basement where his son & the son's best friend are hiding. Moments later there are shots fired at the son's friends house, there the stepfather is shot in the shoulder and the kid is "running scared." From there, we meet a bunch of colorful characters, the Kid,with his stolen gun bumps into a crack-head, a pimp, the cops, his step dad, child abductors, The Mob, and his mother blows up at the end.

I recommend you do see it just to see how bad a movie can be... I'm still reeling in disbelief.
