November 8, 2009Hyper violent crime-thriller that's never dull during its 2 hour running time. The MTV editing gets a little annoying at times but otherwise it's a well made bloody good time.

This whole fucking goddamn thing is about to fucking blow up. If fucking Tommy or any of those fucking guys find out about it, I'm ...( read more)

January 25, 2009Possibly shot and written by someone whose diet consists solely of caffeine and speed, this is a film that could give you an epileptic fit even if you had your eyes closed.

There is a child at the center of this ultraviolent story, and the devices used to keep us on tenterhooks regarding his survival are appallingly manipulative. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Running Scared is for people who like movies, who don't need to have a movie mean something in order to enjoy it and who can delight at the sheer craft of a story designed only to shock, amuse and hol... full review

Kramer seems to be aping Quentin Tarantino's brilliant tangents in Pulp Fiction, but he doesn't have Tarantino's imagination or gift for dialogue. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
