"Run" is pretty much like the title says it is. A story about a Law student (Patrick Dempsey) running away from the police and some Mafia guys after been involved in the accidental death of the son of a mob boss while gambling in a small town.
If you enjoy movies with great escapes, car chases and one innocent guy finding a way to solve some problems and arranging another ones this film is for you! But I must warn you, don't expect too much intelligence, or even better don't expect any kind of cleverness whatsoever here. This movie is just fun to watch, a brainless experience where you're gonna see some dumb moments and a plot hole bigger than the sun.
OK, I'll spoil the fun a little bit. What happened to the gangster's son was an accident while trying to punch Dempsey's character (the guy tripped on a small tree). It all happened in a casino which was supposed to have a surveillance system with thousands of cameras. Okay this is not the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino but it's still a casino. If this surveillance system was used it could save a lot of trouble and no one (except the annoying gangster's son) would have died. But in the end the gangster (played by Ken Pogue, this guy really looks like Karl Malden) uses a modern surveillance system in order to find where Dempsey is (in some part of the hotel). In short: pointless.
I've read here many people complaining about the editing quoting as a work of a drunken editor or something similar. Well, I haven't noticed anything wrong with it, I think that it was way better than many recent movies I watched lately with that shaky camera with no planning. The action scenes was good (the gateway in the mall was my favorite), the acting was the usual for a movie of its kind, nothing exceptional.
Again, it is fun to watch. Go for it and don't trash it because it's not so great like "The Fugitive". 8/10
