At its most basic, this is a movie about some gangsters trying to track down a stolen gun. Beyond that, it's a twisted, down-and-dirty thrill ride in which every incident and encounter uncovers a whole new level of perversity. Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga are the protagonists, along with a moon-faced kid named Cameron Bright, who has an interesting way of watching events unfold while holding the key to the story, and sometimes the gun. You know how with some movies, you can just leave them running while you go out to the kitchen for a beer? You don't want to do that with this one. If you do, you'll be missing something.
