"Trying to explain the wildly accelerated plot of this non-stop action thriller would be like convincing Quentin Tarantino to retell the saga of \"The Sopranos\" in 15-minutes or less. Don't misunderstand, \"Running Scared\" wastes little time on the nuanced details that make the violent, narratively precise, and intricately characterized world of \"The Sopranos\" so stylish and compelling. But boy, does it have style to spare, not to me ..."
