RUN HIDE FIGHT MOVIE

Otherwise, it is basically Die Hard in a school, and as such, is no more worthy of complaint than any of the many other Die Hard knock-offs weвЂ™ve seen.

This is something the script does address towards the end, when the heroine says to the ring-leader, вЂњIsnвЂ™t it ironic, that after all your goddamn hard work, people arenвЂ™t gonna remember you? They are gonna remember me.вЂќ This might ring truer, if I wasnвЂ™t fairly sure he gets more lines than she does. It plays down the same line as previous entries in the school shooter genre вЂ“ spending too much time on the killers rather than their victims, which almost regardless of execution, exacerbates the problem. It doesnвЂ™t really get more controversial than daring to suggest that sometimes, to stop a bad guy with a gun you need a good guy teenage girl with a gun.ДЇrom a moral point of view, my sole qualm was probably that too much time was spent on the chief perpetrator. Though that would have taken more bravery вЂ“ or stupidity! вЂ“ given some of the reactions to what is a mild, even-handed take. I might have had more respect if the film had taken a stance and gone for it. Who knew?Дirector Rankin said ( in an interview thatвЂ™s thoughtful, and definitely worth the read), he wanted the film вЂњto be so that two friends on opposite sides of the political spectrum could go watch this and both feel like it honored them, and they could go out for coffee or a beer, and talk about it.вЂќ IвЂ™d say he managed to do so, though IвЂ™m not certain such equivocation is the best approach, especially when it comes to such a controversial topis as school shootings. Once again, reality is more moderate than online opinions would have you believe. Yet, just as The Hunt was not calling for the murder of Trump supporters some suggested, neither is this the relentless pro-gun propaganda, youвЂ™d think from a few of the more vitriolic reviews. However, in this case, I canвЂ™t ignore the elephant in the room, with Run Hide Fight having acquired an explicitly political subtext, over and about its content, through distribution by right-wing website, The Daily Wire.

But otherwise, I try to review a movie as a movie, rather than seeing it through the lens of any political belief. By which I mean, if a movie consciously injects a political theme or agenda, then thatвЂ™s fair game. My rule of thumb here is, I generally donвЂ™t get into politics, beyond what a film itself does.
