      Dez: [as Oleg walks out of the room] You know I've got a safe in the bedroom. There's $100,000 in cash there in diamonds. All you have to do is take the boy and walk away!

      Teresa Gazelle: [Teresa observes the hidden closet where obscene child pornography is shown along with body bags and surgical knives] Oh my God... Oh my God!

      [Teresa feels the plastic floor]

      Teresa Gazelle: Oh my God... Oh my God.

      [pause]

      Teresa Gazelle: Oh, you sick fucks!

      Dez: [stutters nervously] You're right, we are. We're sick. We are! This is really great, this is going to help us...

    A macabre take on fairy tales

    When you watch this overlooked film, you might find it is wrought with a oft-manic Paul Walker who's trying to dispense with his adolescent roles. Kramer combines a Tony Scott and Paul Verhoeven with a touch of David Cronenberg aesthetic and it works effectively. Cameron Bright plays (again) a pivotal role as a catalyst for propelling the narrative forward. What's great, is how Kramer does not try to dilute the more explicit elements while also not turning it into a unapologetic documentary of war torn Liberia. Great performances by all, particularly Farminga who is opposite of her part in Scorsese's The Departed.The only flaw: Walker's overly dramatic. Trying too hard to carve out his own niche like DeNiro, or Hanks. Anyone can emote frantic and manic with abundant enthusiasm, but if Walker can internalize as much as spout poetic slurs and epithets, he wouldn't just have the Fast franchise on his resume.

    • SPOILER.........If Joey was an undercover officer, why did he not report the gun to the New Jersey cops instead of running around all night trying to avoid the cops and the mob?
