Run has been described as Fast and Furious does Kitchen Sink drama.
If only it was half as interesting than that concept.
Starting out with Bruce Springsteen's iconic lyrics for Born to Run. It also ends with a Springsteen song.
Finnie (Mark Stanley) is a fish factory worker in his 30s in Aberdeenshire. With two teenage kids, life is passing him by.
One night he borrows his drag racer son's car for a joyride. The need for speed gives him a thrill.
The film has a brooding performance from Stanley. It has a strong dialect but it was not an issue for me.
It just lacked a strong story. It had too much navel gazing. Springsteen sang about escaping. Here the characters realise that they have nowhere to run.
