I think Leonard Cohen said it best: "
I've seen the nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all, but love's the only engine of survival"
A movie that has a love story for a baseline, along with a side story (revenge in this case, same in John Woo's "The killer"), is the best representation of movie making.
While looking like what it is, a 70's movie (without a cheesy soundtrack), "Run, Simon, Run" is driven by great script, subtle acting, and on-the-money editing.
Still, by far, my most favorite film of all times.
(Closely followed by "The Killer" :D)
