Run

I love Sara Paulson and she always delivers. Of course, it seems alot like Gyspy & DeeDee story, but it's not exactly the same. It's what also makes the movie that much more thrilling, to know it actually happened and happens more then we think.Either way, it's a very good and a definite must watch, especially during quarantine if you like thrillers! I am sure you will enjoy this movie, it doesn't get boring or leave you feeling as if the ending was missing something.

Run is a very good thriller . It has amazing acting from both the actresses . Sarah Paulson was creepy and the girl who played her daughter ( can't remember her name ) was spectacular !! This movie is thrilling and tense but it fails on one major factor . The plot . It's filled with plot holes some minor and some major . That's why you have to put your brain aside for this movie . Nonetheless , it's a great movie

From the writer-director of Searching comes another neatly crafted, briskly paced & delightfully atmospheric mystery-thriller that makes fab use of its genre elements to deliver the chills. Run steadily ratchets up the tension & only gets more suspenseful as plot progresses but the story also loses its sure footing in the final act and fails to separate itself from the crowd.

Co-written & directed by Aneesh Chaganty, where his feature film debut dazzled us with its originality, unpredictability & edge-of-the-seat storytelling, this sophomore effort only gets bogged down by our own familiarity with the setup. Still, there are several tense & thrilling scenarios in store here and the plot sustains its grip on the viewers for the most part. However, the payoff isn't rewarding enough.

It doesn't take long for the main plot to surface. It actually does a tad too early when more time should've been devoted to make the mother-daughter bonding feel real & authentic before sowing the seeds of doubt & suspicion in our protagonist. Acting is impressive from both Sarah Paulson & Kiera Allen, for the former is believable as the crazy mom while the latter renders every facet of her character's physicality with precision to steal the show.

Overall, Run is a competently constructed example of its genre(s) that manages to keep us invested in the outcome despite the predictable storyline but unfortunately fails to stick the landing in the final moments to wrap up on a fulfilling note. The finale still works, albeit in a formulaic & generic way. Underwhelming when compared to Chaganty's previous feature, Run is still far from a disaster and a slight adjustment in expectations should yield a satisfying enough experience for most, if not all.

I hadn't heard about the 2020 "Run" from writers Aneesh Chaganty and Sev Ohanian prior to getting to sit down to watch it. I looked it up on IMDb just before watching it, hoping to get an idea what I was in for; so I read the synopsis for the movie, but not any reviews.

Normally I am not one to watch an abundance of thrillers, because the genre tends to be pretty much a dime a dozen, but still with the chance given to sit down to watch this particular movie, I did so.

And I will say that director Aneesh Chaganty definitely delivered an entertaining movie. The storyline presented in the movie was one that had me thoroughly entertained, and I enjoyed how the writers kept me in the dark, letting me guess as to what was really going on. And director Aneesh Chaganty managed to reveal more and more of the actual happenings in small bits and pieces, which definitely left me wanting for more, and it was such a good sensation when it dawns upon you what is actually happening.

"Run" is a movie that is driven by some great acting performances by the two leads; that being Sarah Paulson (playing Diane, the mom) and Kiera Allen (playing Chloe, the disabled daughter). And since there weren't all that many people in the movie, the pressure of delivering was bigger for the leads, but they mustered this with excellence.

The build up of the storyline is good and keeps you wanting more, and I like how the director just gradually feeds you bits and pieces of the storyline, as it makes for a very intense movie.

I was definitely entertained by "Run" and it is a movie that was well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch. The ending of the movie, though, was just rubbish - pardon my bluntness here. But that ending was just ridiculous; and no, I am not revealing it, as you have to experience it yourself.

My rating of "Run" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

If you're looking for a thrilling and suspenseful experience, this is the right movie for you. The plot twist isn't that dramatic but the plot just keeps drawing you in. Sarah Paulson's acting is world class, and the actress who played the daughter was super convincing as well. I also loved how the scenery was complimenting the gloomy aura of this film. Highly reccommend.
