A low-ranking thug is entrusted by his boss to dispose of a gun that killed corrupt cops, but things spiral out of control when the gun ends up in wrong hands.
It’s handily the nastiest “mainstream” film with this considerable of a cast and budget since Wayne Kramer’s bonkers 2006 cops and mobsters thriller Running Scared.
In 2001 we were introduced to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel, xXx), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker, Running Scared) and a host of other colorful characters in Universal Pictures' The Fast and The Furious.
This stretch of the film has the kind of unholy creepy factor found in the scenes with the murderous child pornographers in Wayne Kramer’s Running Scared (2006), but it goes nowhere and simply stops dead.
