Running Scared (2006)
Incredible movie...You won't be disappointed.
This movie starts out as your standard mob story with a small time enforcer caught in a web of guns, drugs, crooked cops, competing mobs, & family problems to boot.
Yet it becomes more involved as he tries to retrieve a gun taken by a neighbor kid that he was supposed to dispose of as his mob buddies had used it to kill a crooked cop in a botched drug ripoff. This leads him into involvement with the kid's Russian mob tied parents & the New Jersey Russian mob.
Everyone seems to be after our lead character & his task becomes more impossible as the gun winds up going from person to person & leads him into more interconnected story lines.
In the meanwhile his wife is trying to rescue the kid that took the gun from a couple of sick child molesters who have kidnapped him from a parking lot as he tried to escape from his Russian mob father.
It's a fast paced thrill ride that makes you wonder what the next plot twist will be. Let's just say the final 20 minutes or so give you a plot twist you never expected & really speak to the lead character's morality. This movie is awesome. You will not be disappointed.
Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4 (1990)
Don't waste your time
None of the Silent Night: Deadly Night films will ever win an Academy Award, but at least you don't feel cheated out of a couple of hours of your life watching them. This one is absolutely awful!!! It shouldn't even be allowed to carry the Silent Night/Deadly Night title.
It has nothing at all to do with the Christmas killer theme of the others & is sorely lacking any interesting storyline here. Nothing but a bunch of has been or never were actors from the 70's and wannabe actors from the 90's in this one. The script is awful, the acting's even worse & the special effects are lame & rely on slimy reptiles & cockroaches in the sink to get bang for the buck.
If you get a chance try & book some time watching paint dry instead of watching this garbage.
