Product Description
Crime thriller starring Paul Walker as Joey Gazelle, a low level mob flunkie whose role is to dispose of 'hot' guns from mob killings. We soon find out that Joey has been hiding these guns in the drywall of his basement, instead of tossing them in the river. When Joey's 10-year-old son (Alex Neuberger) and his best friend, Oleg (Cameron Bright), witness Joey hiding some guns from a botched drug deal, Oleg steals one of the guns and shoots his abusive stepfather with it. Things would be bad enough if the stepfather didn't happen to be the nephew of a psychotic Russian mob boss who happens to be in business with Joey's crew on a gasoline scam.

Watched this with some trepidation. Gangsters, violence, yawn, been there, a am I really in the mood for another Tarantino clone? The beginning lived up to violent expectations but then something strange happened. By putting a child into jeopardy, and keeping him there for the duration of the movie, this director has produced a must-keep-watching gem. The film twists, turns, dives into adult fairy story, throws in some allusions to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, bungs in a few hockey putts, and generally keeps you gripping the edge of your seat for its duration. Worth trying out. And in terms of plot construction, script etc - it was very good. Not Tarantino. Much darker. Probably more of a gripper if you are a parent but still - try it. You might like it.

I'll keep this review short, as the description covers most things, with a rather biased slant, of course.
However in this film, it lives up to expectations, with plenty of storyline, as with most crime-related films, a nice plot twist or 2 near the end (which I obviously wont spoil), and plenty of guns, corrupt cops, gangsters, all the cool things you'd expect to be in a movie.
It does get slightly random a couple of times, however to be honest, it remains mostly believable and always gripping.
All in all a great film, I personally loved it, it kept me glued to the screen all the way through, but it may not be to everyones taste. If you unsure, rent it first, but to be honest, its a good enough film to just buy.

Well this is a million miles from Paul Walkers normal roles in films. In this he plays a low member of a local mafia gang. After a gun used to kill some undercover bent cops goes missing he has to find it before his own gang, rival Russian mafia or the bent cops can also get their hands on it. Off we set on a frantic chase encoutering all sorts of local scum and low life in his search for the gun as it changes hands over the course of one night.
This is a tough gritty, dark film with plenty of swearing, violence. Not that far off in comparison to the likes of Goodfellas, Casino and the other violent gangstar films of the 90's. If you liked those you should like this, if your expecting the nice boy next door Paul Walker of Fast and the furious or Into the blue, you may be shocked. Overall a good film. 7/10
