Running Scared (2007)

★★★1/2

After a drug operation goes bad, Joey Gazelle is put in charge of disposing the ‘smoking gun’ that could put his colleagues in jail for a long time. However, during a domestic dispute between father and son, the neighbor kid next door ends up shooting his father with the gun and taking off. Now, at night in the dangerous parts of the city, Joey is on the hunt for the boy and the gun but dangers lie in their pathway. Though this movie is so heavily stylized, gimmicky and over the top, it was fun to watch all this senseless action and bloodshed. It had some very creepy moments but it did achieve the perspective of the young boy.
