Biden voters won’t like Run Hide Fight, a movie about the Trump half of the country. Folks in Trump country eschew victimology. The left obsesses on it. We celebrate lone heroes doing what needs done.
Isabel May as Zoe Hull is a hero who does all that and more when her high school gets attacked by psychopathic classmates. That classic action-movie move gives May’s hero a license to kill. May slays.
It get’s really tense 15 minutes in, REALLY TENSE.
Kyle Rankin’s magnificent movie manages to not glorify psychopaths even as it documents their extreme psychopathy. For them, it’s fame über alles: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, cable news. It does not matter.
Run Hide Fight is studded with grace notes and redemption, suffused with complexity and intelligence.
Rankin conceived a mother-daughter relationship extraordinaire between Radha Mitchell and Isabel May, daughter talking with her deceased mom.
The daughter’s having trouble letting go.
First fight scene at 44 minutes, and it’s a great one.
One of the bad guys is a self-medicating schizophrenic, another perfectly played move by Kyle Rankin.
1:11 My eyes first got misty.
1:17 He’s gotta go. HE’S GOTTA GO. He’s got the knife and more.
1:24 First Kiss
And in the end, she turns away from fame.
She took the road less traveled, and that made all the difference.
Speaking of roads less traveled, Run Hide Fight is only available over at the Daily Wire. It’s well worth it.
