Ready. Aim. Run.

Joey Gazelle (Paul walker) is a low-level mafia thug who finds himself in the middle of a drug-deal gone wrong in which a hail of gunfire and some dead undercover cops are the net results. Fleeing from the scene, Joey is charged with dispensing one of the steel revolvers used to kill the cops. Instead, he stashes the gun in his own basement, just in case he ever needs insurance against his own gang.

Unfortunately, Joey's 10-year old son, Nicky (Alex Neuberger), and his best friend Oleg (Cameron Bright), see where the weapon is hidden. Oleg, whose Russian mob-connected step-father is physically abusive towards him and his mother, steals the gun to exact revenge. This forces Joey to embark on a nightmarish 18 hour journey to locate Oleg and the gun before his own gang, the Russian mafia, or bad cop Detective Rydell (Chazz Palminteri) finds them or the true link between the gun and the crimes....

really good story, yet spoilt by the over-the-top swearing and vilolence, and the blatant rip-off of the style used in snatch, slo-mo,rewind camera angles, i really had to force myself to watch all of this.dont waste your money,folks.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars pleasantly surprised

I really enjoyed this film, i thought it was going to be one of those "oh well that passed a couple of hours" films and forget it in 5 minutes. On the contrary i will def watch it again!
I have noticed that i have seen quite a difference in its price on various sites tho, so shop around!!
The reason i have given it a 4 star rating is purely because im not sure about the ending, that is the only reason it didnt get a 5,some might disagree with me but this is my review!! Saying that it is still a great film.
Would def recommend buying this film!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Best work by Paul Walker yet...

This movie was non-stop. It was full of action. It was intense, and at times surprising. I can see Paul Walker is trying to shed his pretty boy image. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It reminded me of a cross between Pulp Fiction and A History of Violence with a twist. There were some moments that down right shocked me. The acting was good. I wonder if the studios are gearing Paul Walker for something more. He just might be our next Matthew McConaughey. If you like gritty movies...than you are gonna enjoy this.
