'Running Scared' any good?

Tommy B · 14 Jul 2006 at 17:45

I don't know why but I'm in the mood for a night in and a film. I've got quite a few films I haven't seen on DVD, and I just wanted a few thoughts on this.

The G/F thinks it's good.. I have no idea.

Nothing to lose I 'spose

WOAH

HA! Didn't see the subject, so was going to say "watch Running Scared, its's amazing"
I'll say it anyway, yes it is lush.
So watch it.

They are both 2 hours-ish. Could be quite a sitting!

I would pick man on fire. Running Scared is kind of good, but is pretty ****ed up aswell. One scene is especially :confused:

.

Running scared is basically, the guy CLEARLY wanted to be like Tarantino, but was'nt a good enough director so he filled it with weird crap instead. Then again, Man On Fire's visual style, similiar to Domino REALLY annoys me. So errrrm, watch American History X instead

What's Domino like?

Ye its a really good film but i would pick man on fire out of the two. but when you have time to watch it, give it a look as its 2hours well spent imo.

edit domino was bad!

I thought she was one of the strong points? I've been told her acting is fantastic and works well with Washington.

Man On Fire DVD can be picked up in the sale at a certain place for £3.99 by the way. Lets just say this place is the king of Jersey based companies, I'm afraid I can't any bigger clues as it breaks the forum rules.

memphisto · 15 Jul 2006 at 13:24

its also £2.99p at HMV.

Tommy B · 15 Jul 2006 at 15:27

Why exactly are they selling DVDs at crazy prices this year?

Have they just decided the best way to beat piracy is to charge less. I've already picked up about 10 films from a certain place that are about £2-£4.

Watched Running Scared last night.

Awesome film although I found the appartment scene VERY disturbing.

I just watched it and OH MY GAWD!!! :eek:

That scene was too disturbing :eek:

MODERATED SPOILER WARNING

Overall the movie was really good! Who'd have thought he was a cop?

I've got a few questions . .

At the end of the movie he faked his own death . . why?

In the ice rink when he was getting smashed (ouch!) he said it was the other guys gun, how did he convince the guy that was commanding everything on the rink? I didn't quiet get that.

Good thing I'd seen it, ay?
