A dark, fast-paced, and brilliantly directed Crime/Thriller by Wayne Kramer. Walker is suprisingly great, and establishes himself as a talented actor.

Fast-paced and action packed.

Lots of fights and twists. Underrated movie for some reason.

A disturbing diorama of desperation, dirt, depravity, and dysfunctional families. The (incidentally very good) end titles hint at this movie being a dark fairy tale, something like a "Grimm brothers 2.0 mashup" and as that, it works quite well. If you like to wallow in just about all of humanity's filth for two hours, this movie might be just right for you.

'Running Scared' is not flawless by any means, but if you can watch it as the surreal fiction that it is, you will be thrilled by its visuals and ideas. I for one had a great time watching it, and I even think it is quite re-watchable.

Paul Walker is explosive, better then I could have ever hoped. This stood upon my faves list at one time, but then I realized there is better, all though this will always be one of those films I can turn too for a good watch and some awesomeness

The over-the-top shootout in the beginning was good, stupid fun. Over-stylised, sure, but if the movie had continued in that same tone it would have been pretty enjoyable. Instead, it sucks all the sense of fun out of itself by using some dubious themes and becoming a mix of cliches and stupid character decisions.

Violent garbage.

Cheesy action movie that offers some entertaining scenes and tone that's wildly unsure of itself.

First, this movie redeems Paul Walker. Second, it's ridiculous and overboard but that's forgiven because it's so well done. Great visuals too.

Good action movie.

I wish it had different ending.

A better than average thriller that also happens to be on meth. Wow this does not let up. Completely over the top and completely awesome.

Convoluted by the poor editing, over dramatized by the desperate screenwriters, but still a decent film.
