Review of Run Hide Fight (2021) by Coopcooper — 16 Jan 2021
Had the pleasure of attending an advance screening of this film. It's quite refreshing actually, not your usual Mary Sue type female lead, but one with actual depth of character and believable personality traits. Outstanding performance by the lead actress.
Don't judge this movie based on the ratings it's been receiving from mainstream critics, almost all of those reviews are, quite predictably, ideologically driven (I know this because I've read most of them, and it's like they haven't even watched the movie...and maybe they haven't), the movie being produced by The Daily Wire, a prominent right-wing commentary site. But the movie doesn't try to push right-wing messaging onto you. I think a person on either side of the political divide can watch this without constantly having to scoff at abysmally inserted ideological tropes, something which is quite a rare thing to experience nowadays. It's an all around action packed thriller with the sole purpose of entertaining the audience, which it succeeds at by maintaining a constant sense of tension through the entirety of its length, and keeping a firm hold on the overall theme that it began with.
I highly recommend watching this, it makes for an exciting and fulfilling watch with friends. A breath of fresh air and something of actual entertainment value, among myriads of bland art movies, mindless franchises and sloppy reboots, that have sadly become the status quo.
