Mark C Running Through Darkness (2018) - Anne-Laurie Milleville I enjoyed the noir tinged Running Through Darkness as a modestly budgeted indie film. Entertaining and at times stylishly clever, the direction, script and acting are outstanding and impressively exceed expectations. Written and directed by Peter O'Brien. Starring Landon Beard, Lillian Bornstein, Eric Moyer, Corkey Ford, Mark Popejoy, Jeff Jackson, Cassidy Chamberlin. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Kristina M I stumbled on while chillin' on Tubi. Yeah, it's an oldie but it fresh, but let me tell ya, it ain't playin' by the rules. Running Through Darkness ain't your typical jam—it's breakin' all them societal expectations, ya feel me? It's ahead of its time, straight up. So, here's the deal: it's about this regular dude Calvin, played by Landon Beard, who comes across this messed-up chick, Robin, played by Lillian Bornstein. She's been left for dead, and bam! Calvin gets sucked into her shady, messed-up world, yo. No spoilers, but lemme tell ya, this indie gem's a real eye-opener. It's worth a watch, no cap. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Simone M An interesting premise with fun payoff! This film is very much set in Nebraska but it's got the excitement of a Hollywood thriller. If you're an indie film lover, Running Through Darkness will certainly scratch that itch for you and more! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Catherane S The story of a Good Samaritan who comes across an injured young woman on his daily run and tries to do the right thing, Calvin who plays the lead is very watchable. There are some breath-holding moments as the story unfolds. The camera work is very good in much of the film with some great, scenic locations. The running sequences are definitely worth a look. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Norbert A Our main protagonist goes out for a jog and finds an old flame beaten by the side of the road. She asks for his help, to kill the man who hurt her. He looks into this guy who turns out to be a proper nutcase. But suddenly he is in danger because this volatile guy wants something from him. Now both his morality and his will to survive are challenged and he must decide on how to get out of this nightmare. We follow his struggle, question his reasoning and ultimately root for him to survive this ordeal. Despite the budget constraints I feel that this indie has achieved what it set to do, pull us into the world of deceit and despair, where we root for the protagonist to come out alive. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Kyle S Running Through Darkness is a dark and effective thriller with a story that will keep you guessing. A man tries to help a woman, who then makes him an ominous proposition. He gets sucked in to a world of threats, crime, and violence. The story goes to some really unexpected and dark places that I did not expect. It really will keep you on the edge of you seat as you try to guess the twists and turns. The writing was very effective in this way. The directing was very good also. The cinematography was fantastic, most especially during an epic foot chase sequence. If you're looking for a thrilling adventure, this film is your ticket. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
