2048: Nowhere to Run

A worthwhile prequel made all the better by Bautista's mature acting chops. Very impressive. He is turning into a far more flexible performer than any of his peers from the ring well outside of the goofy action-comedy genre.

The short film "2048: Nowhere to Run" shows how Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) draws the attention from the police. Actually those who watch the film "Blade Runner 2049" might get confused about Sapper Morton, who appears at the start of "Blade Runner 2049". And this short just provides the answer.

It's strange to see Bautista in acting roles and being more nuanced than just a big bloke who can fight, he gives the character depth and leaves me wanting to know a lot more about the origin of Sapper, I think that would be an interesting movie and will work well within the Blade Runner franchise.

We see the man of the movie but just before 2049 played by Batista and we witnessed his power and the need of money for the person who he loves and at the end we can understand how the Blade runner in the movie Blade runner 2049 found that replicant. Pretty informative and introduced the new replicant.

When you get a character matched so perfectly with an actor it's a shame to sideline the combo to so few minutes of film. Movies don't always have to have some huge plan and scheme. I, for one, would love to see Dave Bautista just living out a portion of his life in the Blade Runner world, having adventures and just being Sapper Morton. Most directors can't pull off the big event anyway. Why can't we have less convoluted and straight-to-the-point stories? GIVE US SAPPER MORTON!
