Aright, we may be ending the first month of the brand new year, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop my tradition of reviewing films I missed out on because of either there wasn't a showing, I forgot about, didn't know it existed until now or so, or just generally laziness. But enough of about that, let's review Run Hide Fight.
Why Didn't I See Run Hide Fight?
The reason I didn't see this is because I didn't hear about until like I want to say mid-2020. And at that rate what was the point of doing a review? It wasn't gonna be a current movie anymore, so I might as well just say it for segments like this.
What is Run Hide Fight?
Run Hide Fight was a action thriller movie. The film was produced by Cinestate and distributed by The Daily Wire. Run Hide Fight was written and directed by Kyle Rankin. The story is is high schooler Zoe Hull is having a lot problems in her life right now. Her mother died not too long ago, and because of that her and her father have become strained. However, those problems are currently not the worse things happening right now. Right now her school is being taken over by four school shooters, and she must find a way put a stop to all of this, or a lot of people are going to die.
My Thoughts
The Good: One good thing about the film is the way it looks. Even though it only made with a budget of $1.5 million, it's very well done. Sure it has a low budget, but for the most part I didn't get that feeling. Another bit of credit I want to give is with the performances. Especially from Isabel May and Eli Brown. Isabel made us really care for our main hero Zoe. With her performance she made Zoe not act and be tough, but when it came to the more emotional moments, she really made us feel for Zoe. And Eli played the villain perfectly. What made it work was how calm and collective he made Tristan look. It was a little bit scary. Then we have the tone. Now it would make sense the tone is dark given the subject matter, but what also makes the tone good was how intense it was. I actually found myself being very nervous and scared for our characters. There was times I was hoping certain people wouldn't die. The last thing I'll give credit where it's due is with Zoe. She can actually put up a fight without out us going into that's not possible territory. But what also makes her a good protagonist is how her mother's death effected her. She's very torn up and is trying to move on. But the pain of that lost still effects her no matter how much she wants to move on. That made for a heroine you want to win in the end.
The Bad: I've got nothing to say here. Just move on.
The Okay: Now I've seen and read a lot of reviews saying the movie's a Die Hard clone. I don't know if that's entirely true, but for arguments sale let's say it is. With that being said, then much like another Die Hard clone I reviewed that being Sudden Death. What I'm trying to say is if this is being viewed as a Die Hard clone, then it's certainly one of the better ones. Unlike the more terrible ones I really dug this. What's also a grey area is our villains. Now the main bad guy/the mastermind that being Tristan. I really dug his motivation. He's an attention whore, but he's like this because he firmly believes that the media likes to talk about school shooters, terrorist, murders, and etc. Which makes sense. Everytime something like what he just listed happens, media gives out a full story, which arguably makes more monsters. Then you have his henchmen who I found to be generic. One is simply crazy, the other couldn't let go of a childish prank that happened to him years ago, and I guess the other does this because of a thrill and/or because the other's are involved. I don't know. That fourth member I don't believe was given a reason.
Final Verdict: Good.
So yeah overall it's a pretty good movie. But that's going to do it for me. Come back on Thursday, Feb 3rd. Cause for that one I've got something special for the upcoming The Batman. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
