Noel Murray Los Angeles Times An accomplished cast does what it can to bring the material to life, but it's tough to add fine emotional shading to characters so thick and cartoonish. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Chris Salce Film Threat Better Start Running is dark, funny and sweet. The film acts as a refreshing palate cleanser from everything else out there. Rated: 9/10 Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Tynan Yanaga Film Inquiry It meanders around when a commitment to even one theme or tone would have been most admirable. Oct 27, 2018 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Plenty of compassion fills this sweet story, as the unbalanced FBI agent bears down and freedom seems unlikely. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Slow-footed sentimental road comedy which Jeremy Irons, as a mean-mouthed Vietnam vet from Kentucky, almost makes worthwhile. Rated: 2/4 Oct 14, 2018 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's difficult to find specific faults with the picture's construction when so much of it doesn't work. Rated: D+ Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Mothers M You lied WHERE WAS HE Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Great storytelling and characterisation. I can't understand why it has such a low rating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't a terrible film... the characters are quirky and the events are unrealistic. Eventually we learn the stories behind some of the characters's eccentricities which gives them more depth and makes them seem less cartoonish. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review jeffrey r Offbeat and alternately funny and sad... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review David V Boring movie. A stupid premise that makes no sense. It wanders all over with no cohesive theme. Very unrealistic in every way, Things would never happen this way. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/20 Full Review Audience Member Keep an open mind and it can be a fun little ride 😁 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
