Not a moment lasts longer than itself - even the jokes have no
resonance, and certainly nothing other than the jokes has consequence.
Running Scared is a mediocrity from any angle, but it serves quite well as
a prototype of the new Hollywood product. [27 June 1986, p.D5]
The comedy gets crushed just as surely as our heroes' cop car does in a compactor. This is a shame, because Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal, who play the daredevil cops who banter their way through these bullet-strewn streets, are two extremely likable performers who deserve a director more attuned to their charms. [30 June 1986, p.60]
Running Scared, ha. They ought to call this police story "Re-Running Scared." It's as cliche- riddled as Scarface's limo. [27 June 1986, p.29]
