We get it, you don't like the movie. Paul Walker is expressionless in his movies, but was not here. This role required energy of him he never has had to put forth, PERIOD! The "twist ending" did not make the rest of the movie pointless, obtaining the gun was paramount.

As opposed to starting a whole new thread in the "Covers, Cases, & Inserts" forum, I'd like to ask it here, I just read the DVD reviews for this and they refer to a mini graphic novel insert that is packaged with the DVD. Did anyone receive this? I picked up a copy at Wal-Mart and it did not come with the insert.

First - Yes. Second - In all honesty, you're not missing out on anything if you didn't get it

Thanks Rival11 for the feedback. It seems like the insert is not worth the bother...so I'll let it slide.

Luckily, i don't take advice about movies from someone named after an Adam Sandler film so i watched Running Scared tonight and like so many others, i too thought it was great.

Like i've said many times on this forums, opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Let everyone have there own and stop commenting negatively on everyone elses opinion.

Personally I thought it was a good movie and I think the majority of the people that disliked it more than likely had a biased opinion before they even saw it(they either decided before they saw it that it was going to be bad or dislike like paul walker)

As far as hapgilmore goes its pretty ovbious you dislike paul walker so why even bother watching the movie when you already have an opinion about him? You went in thinking the movie was bad and of course it was because you had your mind set on that.

Just watched this tonight

Johnny Messner calling Paul Walker "*****" may be the funniest moment in movie history:lol:

The only problem I had with Walker was his accent faded in and out.

Good to Idalis make her way from being a VJ on MTV in the ealry 90's to playing a hooker today

The hockey scene was awesome. An enjoyable 2 hours. I'm glad they had the balls to end the pedophile scene like they did.

He was working undercover so he was keeping them for evidence.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this movie. The trailer made it look so bad, and on some levels I guess it was, but it was just so damn entertaining I didn't care. There was something about watching a movie go so gleefully over the top that I just couldn't resist.

Yeah, the trailers are what have been keeping me away from this movie. I guess you can't judge a movie by its trailer. I really need to rent this soon to finally see for myself.

Holy crap! Just saw this for the first time, and even though I was expecting the twist the whole way through, it was still gripping and tense despite being way over the top. At least it stayed on target.

I didn't know who Vera Farmiga was going into this, and half the time I thought she was Claire Forlani.

Well I preferred the Cuba Gooding Jr. Gladiator over the Ridley Scott version. I mean, hell, Scott took out all the boxing! :)

Well if the only 19 movies he's ever seen in his life include Coneheads, Airheads, Mixed Nuts, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Bulletproof, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Big Daddy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Eight Crazy Nights, Anger Management, 50 First Dates and The Longest Yard, then hell, a Van Damme movie would make his Top 20 list.

Maybe you would've liked Running Scared more if Paul Walker resorted to using some annoying made-up accent and a lot of potty humor.

Can someone explain the ending to me?

How soon do we have to wait before John Singleton makes 2 Scared 2 Run?

Just finished watching it. Felt like they threw too many twists in at the ending, but overall I liked it. The part with the child molesters was one of the creepiest, but most creative and interesting scenes I've seen in a long time... It could have been its own movie... like People Under The Stairs. Was the part where Joey is telling Olig about . hope that makes sense..

3.5/5

I rented this and thought it was pretty good. Kinda reminded me of Narc a little. Not nearly as good, but it had that same gritty, dirty feel to it.

That is the only question or "plot hole" that I have about the movie. The person I watched it with believed so, but I am still on the fence. I think common sense suggests that it is so.

Yes, that's what Joey is implying. It's pretty clear to me.

= J

Just got done watching this on DVD. It's like 24 meets After Hours meets Judgment Night, cranked up to 11! Very violent, shockingly disturbing, stylistically innovative, and absolutely ridiculous - and all those things together made it absolutely fucking fantastic!

I loved the

That was inspired!

Best film of 2006 for me so far and it's gonna take some beating! I loved it!

9/10

I had no idea Paul Walker co-starred with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines in Running Scared!

just watched it. i enjoyed it although i didnt like the pedo crap - it wasnt needed IMO. question: why didnt nick tell his dad that oleg was there in the diner?

He thought his Dad was going to kill him.

I just watched this on DVD for the first time. Didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Cool looking, though. Not sure if I'd ever watch it again.

i liked it except for the last 15 minutes which took away from the whole concept and really killed the concept of the movie. as about a dumb a thing as they could do

I agree. I was totally groaning about that.

Just finished watching this, thought it was pretty sweet...rented it because I got two recommendations for it from two different people yesterday. Thought the "Kill Bill" tag line on the cover was pretty lame, that's part of why I never picked it up earlier...that and Paul Walker.

Question: I've seen it before in Miike films, but I don't recall any US films with CG violence/gore...that was probably the first thing I noticed while watching it. Is it becoming a trend here in the US? No more KNB?:(

And as far as the pedo's were concerned,

blind bought this movie the other night. overall I really enjoyed it.

the pedophile couple subplot was very unnecessary, but I have to admit how terribly disturbing it was.

I enjoyed watching it, although I found it to be one of the most ridiculous films I've seen simply because around every corner there was some knd of danger lurking and pretty much every character in the film was willing to kill or aim a gun at someone, even in a public place.

My friend recommended it to me. I can't say it was as good as I was hoping simply because of the ridiculousness. I'm not the type to dwell on a little ridiculousness, but IMO it went into live action cartoon territory a bit. It kind of seemed like random scenes of violent situations were being written into the film. But overall it was entertaining and definitely different.

Paul Walker delivered a very impressive performance.

It you watch the closing credits, it explains, through a short cartoon, how the movie was a very, very, twisted fairy tale. I think if you watch it again, with that in mind, it makes the movie that much better.
