Running Scared DVD Review
Hey all. Got an advanced copy and thought I'd post some of my review. Overall, I was surprised by how good it was especially since it starred Paul Walker.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Writer/Director Commentary - Wayne Kramer sits down with us for the two hours and gives some insights into how the film was made. Much of the time he explains what scenes were filmed in New Jersey (only 5% by his estimate) and the rest in Eastern Europe (for budgetary reasons). He keeps it lively and uses up every moment he could talking about what influenced him as well as some congratulations to the cast and crew for jobs well done. A little repetitive at times, but an all around good track.
Behind the Scenes Documentary - More along the lines of a featurette, this runs around 18-minutes and features quite a bit of footage along with the usual sound bites from the cast, the writer/director and the producer. Not a whole lot is revealed outside of an interesting tid-bit in which Paul Walker's brother was brought in for the "gunshot through the window" sequence.
Storyboards to Screen Comparison - We are given two storyboards with the bottom half of the screen for the boards, top for the film. They were drawn by Wayne Kramer himself and cover the opening shoot-out and the hockey rink massacre.
Here's a link to the rest:
