Consensus: Gripping, fast moving thriller. Best seen with the other parts of the trilogy.
Theatrical Release:Jan 30, 2004 Limited
Synopsis: A cinematic gamble without precedent, this ambitious project comprises three films, in three disparate genres, that provide not so much the same action from different perspectives, but rather,... [More]

Director: Lucas Belvaux
Movies, particularly post-Spielbergian Hollywood product, tend to steer your frame of reference with fascistic discipline. Here, delivered in a shiftable tripartite sequence, is a movie experience you can shape yourself.
Top Criticthe central irony of this noir is that the man 'on the run' is a relic of a bygone era who is really standing still while the rest of the world gallops ahead
Belvaux doesn't yet have the filmmaking chops to create a believable thriller.
Top Critic“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.
With very little dialog, Belvaux tells his compelling story in the actions of his characters--fascinating, involving and extremely complicated.
The weakest of the three films in the series.
The first and strongest feature in The Trilogy.
Top CriticIf Belvaux's accomplishment doesn't quite match his ambition, his movie eventually produces an involving collection of conflicting motivations.
Top CriticOn some levels, Belvaux's vision isn't far removed from average fare on network TV.
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.
While On the Run is entirely successful on its own terms, it also works as integral part of Belvaux's audacious experiment in form and style.
An enjoyably spare and fast- moving French thriller.
Top CriticSuffused with a real sense of sadness of the lost ideals of a generation, the film transcends the banality of many lesser thrillers.
Runs into some problems but is redeemed by a powerful finish.
Top CriticAs a genre exercise, it’s a ringing success, but the film lacks subtext.
A run of the mill thriller which suffers from viewer ennui beget by its unsympathetic lead character
On the Run has some moments of excitement and is certainly uncompromising.
Top CriticFor such a meticulously carved puzzle that all but announces it has missing pieces, On the Run mostly succeeds as both an exercise and a stand-alone entertainment.
A solid noir thriller albeit one with a politically reactionary subtext.
