Run (2020 film)

“Run” is, in parts, executed so well that I want to be on its side. It comes across as the work of a director making the best of a script he’s under strict order to be faithful to, except the director served as co-writer, so that’s just not true. Paulson and Allen work overtime trying to make this abusive cycle seem convincing (and props for hiring a wheelchair user to play a wheelchair user), but as questionable plot elements stack, it becomes harder to admire the performances and cinematography. Thumbs very thoroughly in the middle for this troubling, troubled film.
