I hadn't heard about the 2020 "Run" from writers Aneesh Chaganty and Sev Ohanian prior to getting to sit down to watch it. I looked it up on IMDb just before watching it, hoping to get an idea what I was in for; so I read the synopsis for the movie, but not any reviews.

Normally I am not one to watch an abundance of thrillers, because the genre tends to be pretty much a dime a dozen, but still with the chance given to sit down to watch this particular movie, I did so.

And I will say that director Aneesh Chaganty definitely delivered an entertaining movie. The storyline presented in the movie was one that had me thoroughly entertained, and I enjoyed how the writers kept me in the dark, letting me guess as to what was really going on. And director Aneesh Chaganty managed to reveal more and more of the actual happenings in small bits and pieces, which definitely left me wanting for more, and it was such a good sensation when it dawns upon you what is actually happening.

"Run" is a movie that is driven by some great acting performances by the two leads; that being Sarah Paulson (playing Diane, the mom) and Kiera Allen (playing Chloe, the disabled daughter). And since there weren't all that many people in the movie, the pressure of delivering was bigger for the leads, but they mustered this with excellence.

The build up of the storyline is good and keeps you wanting more, and I like how the director just gradually feeds you bits and pieces of the storyline, as it makes for a very intense movie.

I was definitely entertained by "Run" and it is a movie that was well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch. The ending of the movie, though, was just rubbish - pardon my bluntness here. But that ending was just ridiculous; and no, I am not revealing it, as you have to experience it yourself.

My rating of "Run" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

Sara Paulson and Kiera Allen combine beautifully to play mother and daughter in this twisted thriller. A young, disabled girl is convinced that her mother is hiding a dark secret, surely there's a reason why she's shut away from the outside world.

After a slow start, it opens up very nicely, it's twisted, and will definitive you vibes if Misery.

It is slow to start, but as it develops, it really does gather momentum, and ends with a dramatic climax. You will need to suspend your disbelief, as most of the events are thoroughly non believable, however it is the land of make believe, take it for what it is.

I love Sara Paulson, and this is another example of what a fine actress and is. She knows only too well how to play the psycho role incredibly well.

Very good, 8/10.

Chloe (Kiera Allen) was born with a number of disorders and is lucky to be alive. She is in a wheel chair and is awaiting her college acceptance letter. She is home schooled by her mother. And then PLOT SPOILER Chloe discovers her mother is giving her medication to keep her legs numb. So much for mother-daughter love and trust. Things escalate.

Interesting story for just two main characters for much of the feature, of which half is building the characters. Nice twists. I think it has been done before, but it was well done here.
