Review of Running on Empty (1982) by Matthew M — 24 Sep 2009
A superbly acted film that has a great storyline. I enjoyed the family being on the run which always created a sense of uneasiness. The acting is what really shines and some scenes have little to no cuts.
It is really engaging and the characters have to say a lot about their situation. River Pheonix's character has such a hard time deciding on whether or not to pursue his on life or the family's.
It is a film about family. It has some great heartfelt moments and you really care about the characters. Overall, I really did enjoy the movie and it had a great message.
