Catherine Bray Guardian Most of these kinds of films are about the thrill of the chase, and nobody really cares why the killer is a killer. It’s only a shame that this particular example just isn’t quite as thrilling as it should be. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com There is absolutely zero tension in “You Can’t Run Forever.” It all feels like a lark, a project that would completely dissolve if not for the Oscar winner at its center. Rated: 1.5/4 May 17, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Does it matter? Rated: C Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) Originality isn’t You Can’t Run Forever’s strong suit, but Simmons is a persistent punisher and you won’t mind taking this short trip with his family. Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix You Can't Run Forever is a nepotism project gone wrong. J.K. Simmons has the starring role as a serial killer in this ineptly made crime drama, directed by his wife and co-starring their daughter, with music composed by their son. It's a family fiasco. May 28, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee J.K. Simmons must be a loving husband and father, because it's hard to come up with any other reason he'd star in this clumsily shot, poorly paced thriller. Rated: C May 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Alan S The dialogue is dreadful, the plot is thin to the point of transparency, people’s actions don’t make sense, it’s utterly ludicrous. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Audience Member JA NEE DAS IST QUATSCH Wade fährt durch das Land und killt Leute. Wieso? Als ob das ne Rolle spielt, sagt er. Währenddessen erwartet die sich liebende Familie rund um Tochter Miranda Zuwachs und ihre Halbschwester kommt auch von der Uni Heim. Also nur natürlich das dieses Familienglück bis ans Ende ihrer Tage hält, oder? An sich ja, nur bringt Wade das Ende schneller als gedacht. You can't run forever geht ca. 102 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Thriller mit J.K. Simmons ist der Hauptrolle. Er spielt nen Dude der Leute killt, das wars. Auf der anderen Seite geht es um Miranda, die miese Daddy Probleme hat und noch ein zweites hinzu bekommt als ihr Stiefdaddy stirbt. Die Handlung ist überschaubarer als jede Wiese. Mädchen rennt durch Wald und zählt für ihr Mantra Sachen auf. Typ rennt durch Wald und killt für sein Mantra Leute ab. Dazwischen benehmen sich alle, besonders Miranda, einfach nur dumm. Ihr glaubt mir nicht? Ein Beispiel. Ein Killer ist hinter euch her, was macht man also im Idealfall? Natürlich, Kopfhörer rein und mit den wenigen Akku den man hat Spotify hören, wieso auch auf die Umgebung achten wenn BTS nen neuen Hit raus haut. Nahezu jede Figur benimmt sich nicht wie ein echter Mensch, die Story ist so dünn wie eine Tüte von McDonald's wenn der McRib rausgefallen ist und die Polizei, tja hat nur zwei Leute, wegen Sparmaßnahmen. J.K.Simmons ist der einzige der zumindest etwas mit ein bringt und überrascht, was er z.B. im Auto neben der Daddy Leiche macht hab ich nicht kommen sehen. Allerdings ist der Grund wieso er tut was er tut, maximal nicht zufriedenstellend. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das bereits nach ca. 40 Minuten seine Spannung verliert, liegt halt daran das man nicht weiss was man erzählen soll und die Figuren keinerlei Persönlichkeit und Ausstrahlung haben. Von mir bekommt der Film 4/10 Punkten. Man hätte hier eine Satire wie God Bless America machen können nach den ersten 5 Minuten, entschied sich allerdings für etwas vergessenswertes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Giorgio G What a crap! It starts already very shitty and idiotic, but one hangs on as the movie has J.K.Simmons. But soon one actually realizes that not even this great actor can make it worthwhile to continue watching. I couldn't even manage 15 minutes. 1/10 points! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Liam H You cant run forever but you can run for an hour and a half of some very ham acting. So he finds it very easy to kill but not this one particular person. His motivation seems off. His actions are the actions of what would be the most indiscriminate murderer of all time and yet it is played off as if he some kooky art teacher type of personality and is sometimes played for laughs. Terrible. Very bizarre. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Flavia T Não sei como J. K Simons se prestou a esse papel horroroso, um filme de quinta categoria, com erros de continuidade e péssimo roteiro. Nota zero Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review SUMMER B The movie had potential to be good but it’s so unrealistic the man stop, eating ,starting fires even the little girl had a head start who listen to music while a killer is chasing them in the woods and lol who keeps stoping for the killer to catch up. In addition why would a mother call the killer first instead of tracking her husband phone location to give to police unrealistic felt like a 12 year old produce the movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
