This movie is quite a spectacle. To call it a great film, i don't know, is perhaps pushing it. But to call it one of the most entertaining movies i've ever seen, is an understatement. Running Scared is destined to be a cult classic. There are those out there who love this movie. There are those out there who hate this movie. And then there are a lot more out there who haven't even seen or heard of this movie. This is the first true cult classic in a long time.
This takes us back to the old days when movies were movies. The 70s and the 80s when movies could just be balls to the wall without any regard for decency. When a skilled filmmaker is allowed to work freely, the film will benefit. This is an insane movie. I don't even dare describe the plot. I would like to say though that Paul Walker redeemed himself with this movie. I always kinda hated him, but after seeing him in this i can give him some credit, because he is intense.
i want to bring up the Tarantino comparisons. people who criticize this film call it "imitation Tarantino." why does every violent crime movie since reservoir dogs have to be copying Tarantino? cant it be "imitation woo?" or couldn't it be possible that more than one director has a flair for violent, enthralling crime movies (scorcese)?
So check out Running Scared, watch it with some friends. It'll blow your mind. It's brutal, bloody, violent and vulgar, so beware. But believe me, in ten years people will be asking you, "hey, you ever heard of running scared?"
