Synopsis

Single mother Cherie (Ella Balinska, Charlie's Angels) is thrilled when her boss sets her up on a blind date with Ethan (Pilou Asbæk, Game of Thrones), who initially proves every bit as charming and magnetic as his photo. Ethan can't hide his true nature for very long though - and when things quickly turn sinister, Cherie must find a way to escape. Forced to navigate the streets of LA after hours on foot, Cherie learns Ethan is far more connected and violent than she ever imagined.

Feste handles the action and horror in Run Sweetheart Run well; and for those who can handle its more preposterous twists there are trashy pulp kicks to be had here. But given that this movie is also trying to say something honest and angry about how the powers that be protect abusive men, its silliness is a setback.

While the film contains some impressive scares, a phenomenal lead performance and steadfast central message, Run Sweetheart Run is far too preoccupied with speaking to a cultural reckoning that is truly only occurring in terms of optics and vernacular.
