Running Scared (2006)
Good action, with surprising content
When I saw the trailer for this movie on TV, I thought it looked interesting. The way the movie was shot and the effects were showed off somewhat, and that's what appealed to me the most about the trailer.
I thought I was going to see a gangster flick, great, but I got something else, which turned out to be better. I would call it an odd mix of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Go, Goodfellas, and Kill Bill. Based on content, cinematography and story. I was enticed throughout the entire movie, and it kept me from yawning. I loved the story, the characters, and the twists and turns this movie provided.
The acting was quite good and believable. Paul Walker impressed me in this one, and I ate up the gangster and cop stereotypical roles as well. The kids did well also, except the main character's son is a bit annoying simply because he never listens to his parents, but this is not due to his acting but the character he plays.
I went to see the movie last night, and the theater was completely empty! Either people don't see movies on Saturday nights anymore, or people didn't feel that they wanted to see this film. I have no idea why. It's a shame, like most other reviewers have pointed out, that this movie did not do better at the box office.
Go see this if you like action movies with an interesting plot.

Amazing night
OK, this may be a B movie, if not a C movie, but it is THE movie to watch should you be drinking heavily and desiring a good laugh. Everything bad that has been said... is absolutely true. The last ten minutes of the movie are absolute "boobery." This is EXACTLY why you should see it, and probably why you will buy it when you're done watching it.
I tell ya, there's nothing better than a drunken night laughing at this total piece of "shiznit". This movie is simply touching.
Sincerely,
A Satisfied Customer

Bad, Boring, Bulls***
This movie is THE most boring, and timewasting piece of garbage that has ever come thru my retina! What the heck was I thinking when I rented this movie!? "Makes "The Matrix" look like childsplay!" was one comment on the box...."Wilder than "The Matrix"" was another...
I wouldn't even put those two in the same category! The Matrix is a kick-ass film with good special effects, good story, and everything you'd want from an action-movie! But eXistenZ???? NO, STOP and DON'T rent this movie PLEASE! The actors are bad, story is boring, the special effects are just not there and I didn't flinch once, no suspense, no action...I was just waiting for it to get better, which it did NOT!
On a scale from 1 - 10, I give this a -10 .... simply because it sucks! The money I spent on it may come back .... but the time I wasted watching it will NEVER be!
Oh the humanity....
