Run (1991) was another star vehicle for one of Hollywood's strangest leading men Patrick Demspey. A reed thin actor with an average mug who made a name for himself during the late 80's through the early 90's. Run was one of his last roles as a leading man. In this film, Patrick plays a very naive guy who manages to get into an "card game" with some very shady individuals. Not one of the brightest bulbs (or street smart), he manages to tick off the son of a hard boiled gangster. Dumb kid, he didn't know when to quit and he winds up on the "run". I thought this movie was kind of cool when I was in high school (maybe because I always watched the first half and never had a chance to finish it) but it's just another "man wanted" type of flick. I saw it again a few years later and I was completely unimpressed. I don't know why I went out of my way to watch it because it blew big time. Below average.C
*spoilers* sortaI'm just writing this cuz I found one scene kinda weird. In that scene when he got captured by the cop and is gagged with the duct tape, why does he take like 4 minutes to take it off...I mean i know he's supposed to be in a life or death situation with no time, but it seemed really weird how he just kept himself gagged during the whole chase scene. Does anyone know why they did this?
Patrick Dempsey runs like the wind in this humorous action packed movie. I really enjoyed this movie. It is rare when a movie with an extremely simple plot can entertain. Every scene involving Patrick Dempsey attempting to get away comes to life with a real feeling of desperation and anxiety. I can't wait for the DVD to come out(Hope Hope).
I saw this movie only once, on the small screen, but I put it in my top 10 of most anxiously awaited DVDs. A college student finds himself on the wrong side of town (intentionally), but ends up doing some very bad things (not intentionally) that make him the subject of a man hunt by a mobster who definitely doesn't respect a suspects rights. The kid has one choice -- Run! A Great Non-Stop Adrenaline Rush!
