Plot 411: A gun is stolen and a family's life is threatened.
Review: Joey (Paul Walker) runs with some rough guys. He's in charge of clean up when things go bad. While it's decent money, it's also dangerous. When a gun Joey's holding for insurance goes missing, he knows he's in big trouble. He needs to track the gun down and keep it from resurfacing because this gun has seen things. It's done things. And it's killed a cop. I gotta say that this is Walker's best performance ever. The intensely gritty role gives us a different look at this California surfer dude. It's tough to escape the type casting, especially if your first real role is in something like Meet The Deedles. I had high hopes for this guy to step into the role of the next big action/thriller star. Unfortunately, he's been a disappointment for the most part, but he's still hot. In this movie, he stretched his acting muscles and proved to be both believable and likeable despite toeing the line between good and bad. I also liked the pacing of this film because it always kept you interested. There never seemed to be a dull moment. Also in this movie are Chaz Palminteri, Vera Farmiga, Cameron Bright and Johnny Messner.
Watch It: For some good action sequences.
Skip It: If you're more into Guy Ritchie's style of storytelling.
