Critic Reviews for Run Hide Fight

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (10)

The film has no psychological depth beyond offering up the occasional cliché - one of the shooters was bullied at school, for instance.

Deborah Ross
The Spectator
So somebody somewhere one day had a thought: "What if 'Die Hard' except a school shooting?" and not only didn't they immediately check themselves for other symptoms of lead poisoning but thought, "Yep, that's a winner."

It often feels like an insanely poor-taste experiment.

Robbie Collin
Daily Telegraph (UK)
It's hard to say what's more offensive: That Rankin is pissing into an overflowing reservoir of national pain, or that he's doing it so poorly. Just kidding, it's not hard at all.

"What would you do?" the film tastelessly needles its viewers throughout, presenting the brawniest, most impossible answer all the while.

What's most notable about Kyle Rankin's slick and compulsively watchable genre entry Run Hide Fight is the utter shallowness of its psychological perspective.

David Rooney
Hollywood Reporter
Controversies aside, Run Hide Fight is an averagely adequate action flick, but the highly ill-advised (and unneeded) setting and clunky messaging are very unpalatable.

Writer/director Kyle Rankin, whose previous Infestation (2009) and Night of the Living Deb (2015) were at the more comic end of horror, here has something graver and more morally murky in his genre sights.

Interesting and with surprising emotional depths that you would not expect from a film typically of this kind with a great performance from the film's lead.

Thomas Alexander
HeyUGuys
Well paced and with some nice set pieces, Run Hide Fight is a solid piece of entertainment. Director Kyle Rankin manages the tension well. It's not realistic but it delivers well on the scares and thrills that most viewers will be looking for.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
If you can get past the admittedly harsh premise, the film is executed with enough skill to deliver the thrills you want from the genre.

If the opportunity arises for you to see Run Hide Fight without subscribing to The Daily Wire (which, unfortunately, is the only place the film is currently available), I'd encourage you to check it out.
