The Runners (2020)
7/10
Pretty solid for an indy flick on a touchy subject
29 September 2021
Watched this movie today and the reviews are really mixed, some says its the worst thing ever, others say its amazing (for an indie flick at least) and honestly i tough it was pretty solid myself.

Yes there is a bit of convenience here and there, for instance who still use paper to note phone numbers when you have a cellphone? Who mark locations on a physical map? There is some coincidences like this but i didn't really cared too much as otherwise we wouldn't have had a movie.

Our hero of the story is no John Rambo or John Wick, its a regular joe just trying to save his sister.

There is a lot of tension in the movie and it can get pretty dark and somewhat realistic too, wich i apreciated.

The bad guys are really evil and terrible but without getting into caricature territories of "evil" if you understand what i mean.

Its overall well shot, and i taught the acting was very fine. I don't watch movies in original english that often but this one was not available in my language dubbed, and overall i think they did a very fine job.

Pretty much i enjoyed the movie and i felt a bit sick at time wich is the feeling it suppose to give you, so mission acomplished i would say.
