2048: Nowhere to Run

Having seen all the shorts and the new movie I have to say that this is the most 'Blade Runner' of the 4. It may only be 5 Min's long but for those 5 Min's I felt like was watching a deleted scene from the original. It has the right gritty noir feel to it. Mr Bautista is coming on leaps and bounds with his acting career, big thumbs up here.

The short film "2048: Nowhere to Run" shows how Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) draws the attention from the police. Actually those who watch the film "Blade Runner 2049" might get confused about Sapper Morton, who appears at the start of "Blade Runner 2049". And this short just provides the answer.

A worthwhile prequel made all the better by Bautista's mature acting chops. Very impressive. He is turning into a far more flexible performer than any of his peers from the ring well outside of the goofy action-comedy genre.

When you get a character matched so perfectly with an actor it's a shame to sideline the combo to so few minutes of film. Movies don't always have to have some huge plan and scheme. I, for one, would love to see Dave Bautista just living out a portion of his life in the Blade Runner world, having adventures and just being Sapper Morton. Most directors can't pull off the big event anyway. Why can't we have less convoluted and straight-to-the-point stories? GIVE US SAPPER MORTON!

A phenomenal performance by Dave Bautista.

One of three short films serve as prequels to Blade Runner 2049. Directed by Luke Scott, son of Ridley Scott.
