A former boyracer who married his first love and took a job in one of the fish factories, now has a 17 year-old-son of his own following in his footsteps and can no longer ignore the fact he’s going nowhere. Unable to be physically or emotionally present with his family, he takes his son’s car out for one final joy ride and risks losing the love that surrounds him
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Screen Daily by Fionnuala Halligan
This story of a frustrated man and the slow recognition of what really matters in his life could, indeed, have come from a Springsteen lyric, but the sketchiness of the premise doesn’t really favour the full cinematic treatment it has been awarded here.
The film, effective on its own unassuming terms, seems to cut out with some distance left to run.
Well played and well shot, Run’s idea of relocating Springsteen’s America to a rain-swept Scottish fishing town is interesting, but sadly it runs out of gas and road before it hits the horizon. Less baby we were born to run, more baby we were born to drive around in circles for a bit.
Run hits familiar beats and is often too guarded, leaving us grasping for a little more than its 78-minute run time can provide.
The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
Graham begins Run with a solid premise, but he lacks the dramatic horsepower to move the story out of second gear.
Behold the Protector of the Deep.
Fearless lives forever
