'Run' is a nifty mini-thriller

Run (2000)
Starring: Sarah Kruger
Director: James Ivey Carter
Rating: Six of Ten Stars

A captive (Kruger) makes a run for freedom.


"Run" is another student film that we retrieved from the depths of YouTube. It's a suspenseful little effort, but what REALLY impressed us was the artificial aging the film was subjected to. So many of the films we come across that try to mimic worn-out films that are copies of copies are done with lazy digital templates that are obvious a few seconds in. Real effort was put into "aging" this picture, and it shows.



Also, no matter what some might say, this is NOT a documentary. While it stars Sarah Kruger, a one-time ballerina and current dance instructor, we DID NOT prevent any dancers from escaping into the wild on International Dance Day!
