rewatching 1st time since renting it in 1995. it looks like the early 90s & for me that's a very comforting vibe. Scott Glenn is a real scumbag in this. from killing a woman he just had sex w then leaving money on the dresser like she was a hooker to slashing a mugger across the eyes a few minutes later. then there's Kim Lankford who plays a waitress w a heart of gold who's the definition of ride or die. she is dropped off a dam during an interrogation by Glenn who takes away her best attribute(loyalty) then killing her. what a scumbag. this movies was well cast w good actors that played smaller roles in some well known tv shows. very underrated w a early 90s nostalgia feel that reminds me of waiting to midnight to buy the new Radiohead album @ Tower Records.

Wow talk about unoriginal, cardboard, crap. The director tries to cover for a bad script by adding nudity like some B level straight to video showtime movie of the past, and really over done moments of sadistic behavior by the killer who would have been caught long ago due to his endless string of dead bodies that follow him across the country... the low point of several of these actors careers...

A paint-by the-numbers chase movie. The acting is decent, but there are some serious pacing issues with a lot of time spent in airports and train stations. Of course, the "hero" magically gets the girl in the end

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Poorly written...characters are static and close to stupid...some of the cast seemed to have survived the ordeal and went on to better things others ... well .. they were trampled by real bad storytelling.

Cabbie, David Eckhart (Andrew McCarthy) in some strange circumstance stumbles onto a million dollars unaware that it belonged to the mob. They would then hire cold hearted killer, David Eckhart (Scott Glenn) to track him down. And of course, the hero eventually meets his love interest, Chris Altman (Janet Gunn) who succumbs to also helping him escape.

...the stunt casting of Wayne Newton as a vicious mob boss undoubtedly reason enough to give Night of the Running Man a look.
