Hell hath no fury like a revolutionary scorned, and when Bruno (Lucas Belvaux, who also directed the film -- the first in a trilogy) escapes from prison, he wants revenge on the people who put him there. But as he hunts down his enemies, he must also avoid capture by Pascal (Gilbert Melki), a cop struggling with a troubled marriage to a morphine-addicted wife (Dominique Blanc) -- who, ironically, helps Bruno in his quest.

Runs into some problems but is redeemed by a powerful finish.
The most cinematic of the three films.
The most complex of the three, Life is also the most powerful and revelatory.
Bruno's domination of the first installment contributes to its being the least appealing.
If Belvaux's accomplishment doesn't quite match his ambition, his movie eventually produces an involving collection of conflicting motivations.
Belvaux doesn't yet have the filmmaking chops to create a believable thriller.
An ambitious experiment that makes for a more satisfying intellectual puzzle than it does an involving narrative.
"On the Run" is worth seeing on its own, but those who like it should come back to see how the rest of the machine works.
Sharp, fast-paced and eminently logical.
Seen as a whole, The Trilogy is an entirely different experience altogether, as one pieces together the clues dropped in each to paint a more compelling picture.
"On the Run," rightly, leads "The Trilogy" with its gritty film noir thriller about revenge
Of the three films, "On the Run" is the most successful as a standalone piece.
The weakest of the three films in the series.
