'Running' the Other Way
By Jeffrey M. Anderson In this vile disaster, Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker) spends an entire night trying to track down a missing gun used to kill a cop during a drug bust. Writer/director Wayne Kramer (The Cooler) overcooks the action sequences, adding a few extra slams and bangs during the downtime just to jar us awake. His screenplay relies on wild coincidences in place of logic and relentless profanity in place of rhythmic, Tarantino-like dialogue. Characters act with no sense of moral consequence and -- worst of all -- children are the targets of overt violence. For laughs, there's even a gratuitous child pornography subplot. From there, it just gets worse. Vera Farmiga (Down to the Bone), Cameron Bright (Birth) and Chazz Palminteri co-star.
