Dead Man's Run

What an interesting psychological thriller. I watched this movie twice to pick up on all the little nuances and hidden meanings that are cleverly interwoven into this unusual and completely entertaining screenplay. Without giving anything away I found it very refreshing that one of the two couples that are taken hostage by a psychotic killer is an inter-racial marriage, yet there is no mention of that and it is not a story point. It is just the way it is. Too bad we don't see this type of stuff in major studio films where everybody is so obviously paired off according to race unless it is some major exploitation racial issue. The cast is only five people and that could have turned out to be very boring except that excellently directed in this well written piece is an ensemble cast of great actors led by the ever so talented John Savage. I wonder if this film was ever entered into any of the film festivals because I would be very surprised if it did not win some awards. I would like to see more films by Robert J. Hyatt, the writer and director of this movie that I highly recommend.
