Honestly, looking at some of the professional critic reviews just reminds me how frequently they're completely out of touch with what makes a good movie: entertainment value. Our heroine is just a regular high school girl with a strong sense of right and wrong, the ability to think under pressure, and some basic life skills that seem to be in surprisingly short supply among her peers.… Expand

Deep and relatable main characters, a disgustingly evil villain who no one could agree or empathize with, and a great use of suspense, action, and just the right amount of heart to keep you glued to the screen and engaged for the entire run. Some would say that this movie "glorifies school shootings" or "opens old wounds for Americans." The opposite couldn't be more true - the film exposes the pure evil of people who commit such vile acts as well as promote the virtues many in America could do more with, especially a close family and valor in the face of adversity. At the end of the day Zoey Hull is the hero we could all do better to embody. I've seen the movie twice and is definitely at the top of any list of my favorites.… Expand

The premise is entirely believable, the action isn't overdone, the acting is par to good. The one complaint I have issue with is the pacing and density of the plot, as opposed to movies where scenes get lost on the cutting room floor, it's like this movie had to wipe scraps off the floor to fill time, leading to a lot of scenes that would not change the movie overmuch if they did not exist.

I do not understand the negative reviews for this movie. They seem to be centered around the word "exploitative". I can't imagine what a movie could do to portray a school shooting better, with more respect to the parties involved. It seems like the objection, as opposed to something the movie does wrong, is that the movie exists. Your mileage may vary as to whether you think a movie about a school shooting is appropriate, but if your objection is the subject matter, you aren't actually reviewing the movie, are you?… Expand

Acting was from all parts were just right and carried the story well. Every actor and actress carried their impact to the story. The big thing about this movie is that you can feel the intensity of the fear of students and teachers in an active shooting situation. Each reaction of explosions and gun shots in this movie were authentic reactions. It's interesting that this movie does not have a lot of profanity in situations where profanity may be expected, and it doesn't feel awkward when profanity is presented. Profanity was presented as a real reaction and does not feel inauthentic. Bookending resolution was satisfying. Special effects, gunshots, and pyrotechnics were superb in this movie. Antagonist was someone that you do feel like you can hate pretty well by his actions. Though he is no Joker, if the Antagonist had a deeper more complex philosophy, it can make the movie much more interesting.

Read the critic's reviews, and it just felt like they were detached from reality and detached from the people actually affected by issues like these.… Expand

Moreover, it's about Society in general often mistaking notoriety for legacy. The film gives an honest commentary and poses a very challenging question of its audience: why are we destroying the permanent for the temporary, and trading the actual for the virtual? At what point is our Humanity lost? Really well done.… Expand

The acting was well done and the protagonist was absolutely amazing. I appreciated watching this film and getting lost in the moment. I think it highlighted what an attack on a school could look like if organized and done today. The emphasis on media clicks and becoming famous through streaming was on the nose. Sadly too many people (good and bad) measure their self-worth by clicks and reviews from people they don't even know.

If you want a movie that is honest, that does not force any particular agenda down your throat, that has a young girl who rises to challenge a very bad situation, then this is your film. Give it a chance and ignore the critics.… Expand

While the premise may draw comparisons to Die Hard, the 2 couldn't be more different in tone. Run Hide Fight treats the subject matter with the seriousness and gravity that it calls for, while still offering a story of hope and empowerment for those who might, God forbid, find themselves in a similar situation.

I came on Metacritic just to see what the critics were saying (as I often do after watching a film) and laughed my a$$ off at the "13" average for critics. As I think about the themes in the film and read that Daily Wire is "conservative," I can only conclude that "critics" are a bunch of political shills who are butt-hurt that this film is so good and need to express their indignation by using frilly over-intellectualized prose to tear it down. Basically, if it's got a "13" average score I'd recommend viewing that as an "87" instead (100-13 = 87).… Expand

Honestly, I'm appalled by the 'expert' critics who are so obviously out of touch with reality that they are polar opposite than the user reviews. They seem to spend more time trying to make overcomplicated, robust nonsense than they do putting meaningful meat into their text. I'd say I'm shocked, but these are the same people that think Cuties was a good idea. Back to the movie: First, the action is constant throughout. Second, the plot is relatable...everyone has been to High School and the stereotypical characters are played to perfection (which is why I've concluded that the payed reviewers probably went to private schools). In fact, the wit and sarcasm throughout, especially by the antagonists was both funny and sick....a real positive when you need that role..and kudos to the villain for being extremely hateable. Lastly, the character development within the action was also well written. I'm going to watch this movie again this weekend, especially since Hollywood hasn't produced anything worth risking getting popcorn tongue over, let alone COVID, since the Joker.… Expand
