The film, effective on its own unassuming terms, seems to cut out with some distance left to run.
Run hits familiar beats and is often too guarded, leaving us grasping for a little more than its 78-minute run time can provide.
Well played and well shot, Run’s idea of relocating Springsteen’s America to a rain-swept Scottish fishing town is interesting, but sadly it runs out of gas and road before it hits the horizon. Less baby we were born to run, more baby we were born to drive around in circles for a bit.
This story of a frustrated man and the slow recognition of what really matters in his life could, indeed, have come from a Springsteen lyric, but the sketchiness of the premise doesn’t really favour the full cinematic treatment it has been awarded here.
Graham begins Run with a solid premise, but he lacks the dramatic horsepower to move the story out of second gear.
