This week I have watched Running Scared (“La prueba del crimen”) (IMDb|FilmAffinity[es]).

It is a good action movie, albeit a bit too violent at moments. The photography has some Tony Scott-like moments of choppy and fuzzy scenes, but much less pronounced than in, e.g., Domino.

The plot is well drafted, and the story is absorbing. Too bad the end is confusing, violent and Hollywoodesque. There are some plot twists that add to the value of the movie, but others are mere concessions at “all ends well”. However, it is much more dark and bitter than your average cops/mob movie, where nothing really bad ever happens.

All in all, I would say this movie is not bad, and deserves to be watched.
