| I suppose if you read all my reviews, you may be inclined to think I rate everything five stars. That's not really so, I'm just inclined to rate what I enjoy the most. I've seen thousands of movies in my lifetime, everything from "Manos, hand of Fate" to "Gone with the Wind" and "Dr. Zhivago." Yes, five here, too for Runaway. Runaway is no GWTW or DZ, but it's a good, very well casted little movie. What better a villain to have than to be portrayed by Gene "KISS - demon" Simmons is there? He got into his part with relish. You can tell he enjoyed playing his role. Tom Selleck is a strong selling point with my wife. Cynthia Gibb is cute as a button and had no trouble invoking sympathy when she got that explosive bullet lodged in her arm. Did you realize how big that thing was, probably about a .60-caliber? Kirsty Ally was great, too. What a waste - oops, did I just give something away? I tend to be mean like that. The plot was pure sci-fi, and the episodes with the robots were downright funny, and rather wicked on occasion. That cute police woman with big glasses who got iced by a spider-bot in the men's room made me eager to see Simmons' character get his. Things kept going at a good pace most of the time. I have to admit my blood sugar rose during the scenes with Ramsey's son. A bit syrupy there, but oh, well, chase scenes and the conflict on the exterior elevator toward the end pushed the cutesy stuff out of the way like a Mack truck in a parking lot full of VW bugs. I have a fear of heights myself, so I reeeaaally empathized with Ramsey in the final showdown. When I saw this movie in the theater, that last little thing Simmons did sent just about everybody straight up out of their seats. If you wonder what I'm talking about, watch this movie on a large screen TV or get up close if you don't have a big screen, and, oh yeah, turn up the volume a bit. Get yourself some popcorn, sit back, relax while you can, and just enjoy Runaway. |
