Hyper-stylized and filled with tension, this crime drama showcases Paul Walker in a rare dramatic role as a low level gangster tasked with retrieving a firearm used in a drug bust gone wrong. His story becomes intertwined with dirty cops, Russian gangsters, child kidnappers, and a resourceful runaway (Bright) whom Walker becomes the protector of. Cameron Bright plays a streetsmart kid well and Vera Fermiga is very good as Walker's strong willed wife.

Wrenching film which sucks you in and has you on the edge of your seat throughout. The acting is top notch and the stakes are extreme and a sense of pervasive desperation tugs at you. This movie is violent and has extreme language, nudity and drug use. Anyone who has seen this movie with me felt the same. The emotional pull is inescapable.

The hyper-active violence and speed of the film make the material seem more interesting than it is.
