Ausgewählte Rezension

A very enjoyable techno-thriller

Like quite a few of these 'forgotten' films of the 80s and 90s, I read about this before actually seeing it. Having an interest in Kiss, I wanted to see if Gene Simmons could act. As bad guy Luther, he does pretty well, but there's nothing particularly remarkable about his performance.

The other performances are okay. Tom Selleck and Kirstie Alley are rather good in their roles. POLICE ACADEMY's G.W. Bailey has a straight role as the Chief of Police (the typical by-the-book type who always chews the hero out). The storyline is very good. As it's written by Michael Crichton, it's another tale of technology gone bad, although this time, it was a deliberate human act which caused the mayhem. The film book I read about RUNAWAY in said basically that between WESTWORLD and JURASSIC PARK, two of the best known sci-fi films ever, Crichton made this film. This is true, but while WW and JP are remebered, this film is largely forgotten.

Granted, this film is hardly a classic, but in my opinion, there are times when you go 'who cares' and just sit down to a good, entertaining picture. I recommend RUNAWAY for a viewing. Although, this movie, and some episodes of STARGATE SG-1 seem to confirm that some people find tacky-looking mechanical spiders scary. Which I don't.

Wissenswertes
The on-camera relationship between Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) and Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) is one of intense emotion. "While we're playing a scene I hate his guts", Simmons said of Selleck and added, "I really want to kill him. It's funny, when doing this stuff it all wells up. I can't concentrate on giving somebody a certain look for an extended period of time without my temperature rising and my emotions starting to boil. Sometimes I would make up stuff about Tom, little things that would irritate me. And afterwards, I would go up to Tom and say, 'Look, I don't know if I was too . . . and he'd interrupt and say, 'NO, no. Don't explain anything. You're doing great'."

Officer Thompson has a scene wherein she describes Luther to an officer, who creates a computerized image of him using a handheld device. Why bother when they already have his image recorded on the Johnson's door monitor?
