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.

Sara Paulson and Kiera Allen combine beautifully to play mother and daughter in this twisted thriller. A young, disabled girl is convinced that her mother is hiding a dark secret, surely there's a reason why she's shut away from the outside world.

After a slow start, it opens up very nicely, it's twisted, and will definitive you vibes if Misery.

It is slow to start, but as it develops, it really does gather momentum, and ends with a dramatic climax. You will need to suspend your disbelief, as most of the events are thoroughly non believable, however it is the land of make believe, take it for what it is.

I love Sara Paulson, and this is another example of what a fine actress and is. She knows only too well how to play the psycho role incredibly well.

Very good, 8/10.

Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen (in her acting debut) provide us with great perfomances, a very special dynamic duo that for that alone is worth watching the movie. Both are the best of the film. The script, by Aneesh Chaganty (also the director) and Sev Ohanian, is good enough to get to know and develop the two characters, find out what the problem is and reach the climax. It may be a simple story, but it is still excellent. Finally, what every thriller needs, a good scoring, is achieved in this film thanks to the talented Torin Borrowdale. Without a doubt one of the high points of the film. It's a light and exciting ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

'Run' is a well crafted, tense thriller that hits you with shocking twist upon shocking twist.

What happens when you suddenly don't trust your mom anymore, after she has lovingly taken care of you for 17 years? 'Run' explores this - with nail-biting suspense! This was creepy on a completely different level. The film's protagonist is Chloe, a paraplegic (excellently portrayed by real-life wheelchair bound actress Kiera Allen). Whenever a thriller features a character with a disability (or pregnant woman) the suspense is automatically elevated. 'Run' became more intense and suspenseful with every scene.

Once the characters are set up, it doesn't take long before events take a turn for the worse, and Chloe realizes she's a prisoner within the confines of her own home. I don't want to do any spoilers, so I'm not going to delve too deep into the story. This is one of those movies where the ending couldn't come soon enough. Not because I didn't like it, but because it was so nerve wrecking that I could hardly contain my curiosity to see how it would end. Amazingly, the film simply never loses momentum. This is a rather disturbing psychological thriller, and one of the must-see films of 2020 (if you're into thrillers).

Kiera Allan brilliantly carries the film, and Sarah Paulsen is superb as the mother, Diane. I thought 'Run' was excellent.

Would I watch it again? Yes.

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
