A low-ranking thug is entrusted by his crime boss to dispose of a gun that killed corrupt cops, but things get out of control when the gun ends up in wrong hands.
After a drug-op gone bad, Joey Gazelle is put in charge of disposing the gun that shot a dirty cop. But things go wrong for Joey after a neighbor kid stole the gun and used it to shoot his abusive father. Now Joey has to find that kid and the gun before the police and the mob do.Written by

This movie took me by surprise. I hated the fast and furious movies and thought Paul Walker wasn't a good actor. This movie proved me wrong. This by far is his best film (rip). This movie is in my top 10 crime movies. Walkers character comes home one night and his kid and the neighbors kid are playing street hockey in the basement(they weren't supposed to be playing down there) and they witness Walker hiding something.
This triggers an epic and I mean epic unraveling of a complex story that would make Tarentino and Guy Rich , and Scorsese,s the Departed jealous. Just the police integration scene with the vanilla Coke was a style I wish more directors would use. You feel fear for the characters all of them you wind up liking villains and doubting the good guys your morals get turned upside down and spun around . You are running scared with the characters in this film .
