Great storytelling and characterisation. I can't understand why it has such a low rating.

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.

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.

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.

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

Film Inquiry

It meanders around when a commitment to even one theme or tone would have been most admirable.

What She Said

Plenty of compassion fills this sweet story, as the unbalanced FBI agent bears down and freedom seems unlikely.

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

It's difficult to find specific faults with the picture's construction when so much of it doesn't work.
