Run Hide Fight

Entertaining action flick with very likable lead actress and a solid supporting cast. The motivation is a little cliched and the emotional background is a little maudlin, but for a movie with a budget of $1.5 million, the production values are first-rate and the execution is solid.

I'm not sure why conservatives are rallying around this movie like it's some incredible movie about the 2nd Amendment. It has absolutely nothing to do with it. This movie is literally Die Hard in a school. It's somewhat entertaining as long as you're not expecting anything great, because it isn't great. Critics have panned this movie because they pan every mediocre action movie, which is exactly what this is.

If you're in the mood for a mediocre action movie about a hostage situation, you'll probably enjoy this, but nobody will be talking about it in a month and it certainly won't be nominated for any awards.

This movie is not bad in comparison to a lot of movies produced today. It kills me that some of the reviewers criticize the crap out it without reasoning. Don't criticize if you have nothing to back it up with. It makes your review have no credibility and you look ignorant.

The critics kill this film and so do some people on the left. But don't fall for it as this movie is really good. The movie is paced appropriately and the story is delivered really well. The Daily Wire helped push this movie which is a right wing conservative news outlet and this will stop a lot of people from watching and is probably why critics bash it but don't let politics stop you from enjoying this movie.

Went in with low expectations, came out pleasantly surprised. Main performances were good, and surprisingly I actually cared about the main characters through the end of the film. The cinematography was pretty decent too. As far as story I give it a B for effort. It had some plot holes here and there, although no more than many of the films that come out of Hollywood. They paint the police as completely useless through the end, which was the biggest plot hole and did bother me throughout the film. But there's tons of Hollywood films that conveniently make the help impossible to reach as well.

Honestly the biggest issue to me was the streaming quality. The frames would skip periodically and the audio quality was horrible. This was probably more to do with YouTube than the film itself.

Other than that, the main villain is a little over the top and checks off all the "conservative" points throughout the film. That was a bit much and should have been more nuanced.

Overall I enjoyed it though.
