Wordiezett So much average

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

ZULFIQAR RAJA There aren't many people who know about 'Running Scared' or who rate it that highly, but after having watched it, this must be down to critics having watched so many mediocre thrillers, they can no longer recognise a gem. This film is frantic from start to finish, but despite an unrelenting pace, it still explores the characters deeply, enough for the viewer to become involved in their fears and struggles. The late Paul Walker is great and so is his female lead Vera Farmiga who is an exceptional actress. This film is different because it takes itself seriously, the gangsters are real people and the violence is brutal but has that comic book edge to it a la 'Pulp Fiction'. Vera Farmiga's character is the difference in this film because in many male orientated gangster thrillers, the female leads are always under used but not here. Vera is as good as Paul Walker and her character just as compelling. The two boys in the movie are also central to the plot and it seems every character is a piece to this very interesting puzzle. I think the name is abit weak and probably didn't help in selling this film, but anyone who appreciates true cinema must love what we have here.

moskvausa 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.

Andrius Dyrikis 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.

kai ringler First off the pedophile scenes are very creepy so if u don't care for this on screen .. don't watch. other than that the rest of the movie was just fine to me. lot's of action, Paul Walker plays a character who must dispose of a gun used that killed someone,, and once he accepts this assignment he spends the rest of the movie, either trying to get rid of it, or hiding from all the bad guys that want him dead. lot's of action in this one,, I felt this was Paul Walker's finest performance to date, because he got to play a total single lead character, whereas in his other movies he was mainly supporting in his roles. this movie has lot's of action, and gun play very interesting themes throughout, if you can get past the pedophile stuff then it's a good movie.
