Running Scared (2006)
Awful
I can't believe I was 2 hours on this absolute rubbish. Maybe I need a believable plot or decent actors, but I guess that's asking too much. The paedophiles were there pure and simply for shock value. But it more sick than shocking. We have a mag, Total Film, who do an abridged script of films. This one would be easy. Naughty family guy, cocks up. Everything bad that could happen does happen. Every lowlife ever is included (Latinos, mafia, bent cops, paedos, pimps, prostitutes....have missed any??) oh, but it's all OK 'cos the naughty family guy was in fact an undercover FBI agent, more bad stuff happens, but everyone is happy in the end........PHHEEEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! And what is it with the yanks and Ruskies, give us a break. I'm surprised it wasn't A-rabs, with A-rab prostitutes marrying A-rab hit men from A-rab mafia families with bent coppers in the mix as well. Please.......
If you haven't seen this film then DON'T. Give whatever you would have spent on it to a good cause. This film is dreadful, lazy and predictable. My wife gave up half way through and went to bed. My biggest regret was that I didn't join her.
Mr In-Between (2001)
Terrible, don't be fooled that this is good just because it shocks.
An absolute pile of rubbish, shocking for shocking sack with quite a ridiculous premise. Poorly written and with a pace more akin to a 3 legged donkey I would give this a wide birth. I cannot understand why this has been given any positive comments. The acting is wooden to say the least, with Andrew Howard as lead, an actor I have not seen before and some have been waxing lyrical about his performance in Mr In-Between man need only to see his CV after this film to realise he was terrible.
The film is littered with TV actors from the UK and it shows. There is no zip or fizz about anything and even the 'shocking' conclusion is handled in a quite naive and sterile manner. The humour is misplaced and tries to lighten a far fetched story. Avoid at all costs.
Terrible, don't be fooled that this is good just because it shocks.
