…The Final Run mines out a tale that offers more depth and soul than just the usual cops and robbers movie stuff….avoids the melodrama we might expect from such a story, and raises some thoughtful questions about how the world changes around us…

Rated: 3/5

Most of this ... becomes a string of dull and repetitive scenes of characters explaining what they plan or want to do...

Absolutely nothing happened in this movie at all. No tension at all and wouldn’t recommend to anyone ever.

The Final Run completely surprised me. It’s gripping from start to finish, with moments that are both intense and emotional. Indie films like this prove you don’t need a blockbuster budget to tell a powerful story.

The Final Run is one of those rare indie films that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It’s beautifully shot, with a pace that keeps you on edge while still giving space for real emotion. What impressed me most is how personal it feels — you can tell every scene was crafted with intention and heart. The story captures both the thrill of the chase and the quiet moments of humanity in between. It’s the kind of film that reminds you why independent cinema matters: raw storytelling, memorable characters, and a vision that isn’t diluted. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves films that take risks and leave an impact.

This film surprised me with it's tender moments! Jeff Fahey is phenomenal and a scene-stealer with his talent. Impressed with the acting of the young female lead, Maddie Henderson. All in all, I thought the plot & characters were engaging, and while some of the 'action' scenes could've used more pacing, it was refreshing to watch a modern film that doesn't rely on CGI to further the film's visual storytelling capabilities. Bravo.
