Excellent Action Packed Thrills and Drama
Added 8/16/2009
Watched this On-Demand on HBO, with no real expectations, while I was working on other things. I was surprised at how well laid out the story was, and how I was drawn in. It is a dark story of a rather unfortunate scumbag Joey played by Paul Walker who is supposed to get rid of a murder weapon. Things go terribly wrong when the neighbor kid (Nick Naylor's kid from Thank You For Smoking) uses the gun to shoot his abusive step-father.
From there it is a frantic chase to get to the kid and the gun. Along the way the Joey's gang, the Russians, a Mexican Poker game, dirty cops, a totally effed up pedophile family, a pimp and much much more,
The colors, imagery, and blurred slow to fast shots really make this movie something different than your average action flick. I would consider watching it again.

So Good, I bought it TWICE !!!!
Added 7/31/2009
When I ordered my copy it was driven by Vera Farmiga's presence, and then all the great reviews. After viewing, I knew my son had to see it,and I bought him the apparently already out-of-print Blu Ray version ( looked EVERYWHERE and all I saw were small amounts and VERY high prices, until Amazon Canada ). Knowing my boy, he'll call after watching, and be all revved up !!! Very intense flick that NEVER lets up ! No pussying out whatsoever. GREAT ACTION. And personally, can never get ENOUGH vigilante justice when it comes to the " sick and depraved." As Denis Leary says " time to thin the herd."

And into the rabbit hole we go.

I'm usually not a Paul Walker fan but his performance was on point in this film. This film is packed with twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Although I do have to warn, there is a tremendous amount of graphic violence and disturbing scenes that may be unsuitable to some.

Very entertaining movie. Very gritty, sort of has the dirty "children of men" look. Over the top dark comic booky movie.

Follow the chain of events ...
Added 10/7/2009
3 of 5 stars for this action/suspense movie. Lots of high stress action as several people follow the trail of a dirty gun used in the murder of a cop and also used by a boy to shoot his abusive father. A very god movie that will keep your focus from start to end. I do recommend this movie.
