Review of Run

Run (1991)
6/10
"Life is a gamble man".
13 January 2012
The protagonist will learn it's going to be one of those days, where you are going to be riding your luck. A law student wins a poker game unknowingly against the son of a mob boss, but things get even worse when a freak accident leaves him running for his life with the mob and police after him. This early nineties thriller is a mildly distracting and accessible on-the-run narrative with a collection chases on foot and in car with a decent Patrick Dempsey in the lead. Quite predictable and formulaic, but it's nippy pace makes it move along smoothly (where it moves from one scene to another) and the script keeps its rather simple never letting it get over-complicated by just concentrating on the chaos that is erupting. Along for the ride is the ravishing Kelly Preston and then the mob figures Ken Pogue and Sean McCann. Plus a bonus, where can you see a death by mechanical rabbit.

"I don't talk to dead men.".
