User Review
A two hour thrill ride that doesn't relent for a minute.
Rating: 10/10
This was an extremely graphically violent film with some gratuitous
nudity. A lot of extremely well played roles. characters were simple
with complex backgrounds. It kept me on the edge of my seat for the
entire film wondering what was next. I left feeling like I had just had
a two hour seizure. Every time you thought you had it figured out it
threw a curve at you. From beginning to end it was fabulous and
realistic. Paul Walker gave an excellent performance and you really got
into his skin. The supporting cast was excellent, development of the
characters rolled out in a believable manner with out a bunch of
unnecessary revelations. I will buy this movie when it comes out on
DVD. If you enjoyed Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction you will probably
really enjoy this film.
