Running Scared

ALSO CHECK OUT - How I Murdered Myself 


Hookers, drug addicts, drug dealers, crazy-psycho mobsters, crazy-psycho child killers, wife-beaters, pedophiles, crooked cops, pimps, an innocent missing kid with a hot gun in deadly danger, and Paul Walker. Now what can go wrong here? Frankly, everything (in a good way for the audience I mean).  

A small-time henchman Joey (Paul Walker) is supposed to dispose of 'hot' guns for his bosses (hot means they've been used in a crime and have to be destroyed because if the cops get their hands on it, there will be mucho trouble for the bosses). 

Joey brings the guns home and is planning to dispose of them a bit later in the night. But the child next door spots one of the guns and takes it along with him to shoot his abusive father, and then goes missing with the piece in his possession. 

And thus starts the an absolute mind fucking night and trippy story that zips through time with Joey trying to locate the boy and the gun, and he has only a few hours before the cops, the mafia, or his own bosses catch up with him.

The film has many subplots and many characters and things happening at a very fast pace. All of them come together in the end in a kind of explosion like no other. And the ending, well that is something you just have to see with your own eyes, to believe... violent an unique and edge of the seat stuff.  

Sigh, I hope Paul Walker was still alive!

Running Scared is much better than The Fast and Furious series and seems more like a Guy Ritchie film than Guy Ritchie's own films.
