... that Nicolas Cage are on screen are the greatest minutes of my entire life. From his disapproval of Jacob at the beginning to his heroic sacrifice, Cage puts his all into this role. Cage's staggering drunkenness rivals that of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. If there is a God in Heaven, I pray we get a prequel focused on what happened to Cage's character between and when Jacob found him again.
Unfortunately, I can only give this film nine stars as Cage's role is not prominent enough.
Perhaps one day we will get a prequel of sorts, focused on Cage's character's journey from the wise and stalwart warrior he is at the beginning of the film to the drunk and jaded man he had become when Jacob relocated him.

I am a huge fan of horror and exploitation, and low budget b-movies have never been something to scare me off. Rape/Revenge is my favourite subgenre (probably because seeing the brutal revenge is almost cathartic to me, a fantasy I'll never actually enact). So when I heard Run! Bitch Run! was a modern throwback to the 70's grindhouse trash, I immediately knew I had to see this film.
The story is pretty much what you'd expect: two Catholic school girls are going door-to-door selling bibles. They knock on the wrong door and witness a pimp killing one of his girls. They become captive to the pimp and two others. After one girl dies and the other is left for dead, the surviving girl sets out for revenge.
The script, while basic, could have worked with better acting and a soundtrack that didn't sound like it was from a horrible porno. If you're watching for tits, they're on display quite frequently, but you'd be better served picking up a Playboy. Our heroine, Catherine, has a pretty nice pair and once she's naked after the rape (and later wearing a nurses' uniform), she becomes acceptably pleasant to the eye.
I cannot stress enough how poor the acting was, though. What a relief that Catherine doesn't speak throughout the entire second act. One star was added to this review for the way she gets her revenge on Lobo (the pimp). The knifing is the sole reason to watch this film. Try it with the mute on.
