Cours ma jolie, cours.

Run Sweetheart Run has a very simple concept, that works thanks to a great lead performance and an entertaining first two acts. Unfortunately it doesn't fully stick the landing.

The positives of this movie, of course Ella Balinska is great. She is easily the best part about this movie and did a really nice job. Pilou Asbæk was also pretty good as the villain. The movie is very well directed with some nice cinematography. There's some nice stylistic choices that give the movie a kinda fun feel. It's very fast paced and once the movie starts, it never really stops. Its constantly entertaining from start to finish which made this movie a fun watch.

However this film suffers from its final 20 minutes. It completely shifts into something quite ridiculous, and it almost steered away the first two acts. It suddenly tries to bash you with this message in the final act that just kinda felt a little too much. And finally I felt that the film had too many scenes of 4th wall breaking. It felt very strange and rather distracting.

Overall despite a disappointing final act, and strange stylistic choices, Run Sweetheart Run is a fun movie elevated by a great lead performance, fast pacing, and good directing.

The plot and storyline was good. The execution and direction was terrible. I didn't know if homie was a vampire, a monster, the devil, a stalker. It was just a mess in my opinion. These new age thriller movies are just not the same as the old school ones. They use to really put it together. And put thought into it. In my opinion, all the new age movies try to focus on is trying to reflect the "modern day" lifestyle, and no real afford is going into creating the movie itself. Everybody in Hollywood now wants to be socially appeasing to the modern lifestyle, that no real thought is going into directing.

Let me get straight to it - this movie is good for what is but it does have holes in it, holes that need more context overall. Nonetheless, the film keeps your attention throughout the film even though you will have a lot of questions. It can't go deeper within all that's happening as the film goes on, and the answers you want are where those holes are in the story.

Production quality is solid but the storyline is where the questions begin to build. You hope for answers but you don't really get them, only a possible hint that feels like it's left open to your own interpretation, yet you can't stop watching it because you want to, have to see how the film ends for Cherie (the main character).

Towards the end of the film is where it gets sort of weird a little bit, maybe a little cheesy. In its entirety, you're left wondering the what, when, where, and why.

If you're going to watch it, expect a weird story but also know there's holes. Enjoy.

Cherie goes to a meeting/date with Ethan. It starts off great and ends badly.

The foundation of the story is the power struggle between men and women. So if you think this is feminist or would call it "woke", you probably aren't going to find much enjoyment in watching it.

I liked our lead character Cherie. She is beautiful, smart and has ambitious goals of becoming a lawyer. She starts out being sweet but develops nicely throughout the film.

Ethan, our antagonist, is wealthy, handsome and aside from having a hair triggered temper when it comes to his fear of dogs, seems to be a decent guy. Cherie warms to him but is quickly turned off when a nightcap turns ugly. She will spend the whole movie trying to get away from Ethan, who has every intention of killing her if he gets to her by nights end.

The story has a few plot holes and unexplained events that, had they been focused on, would have made the movie much better. It is filmed and acted well but it could've used a boost in the special effects department.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I was entertained and wouldn't mind recommending it to friends.

What starts out a very trivial plot turns in to an all out crazy ride of survival horror at night...

Where you kind of think the story is going becomes something completely different... With subtle clues leading to a discovery of a protected secret of one of our main antagonists....

I loved the feel of this movie, very stylish something similar to 'DRIVE' glossy... Very down town L. A with great music....

But it's the plot that truly delivers as the story unfolds, it takes on this whole new pace of movie with our lead 'Cherie' trying to survive, this film is made of 2 halves one lending to the other!
