And supporters of the film also argue that while the movie might not be a serious documentary, what makes school shootings so sacrosanct a subject that a movie can't be made about them? and how can critics be so unfair towards a film which is by any other metric, at solid movie? ![]() And the trailer seemed to confirm that level of polish. Supporters of the movie praised its direction, the polish of its action sequences, and overall how outside of the sensitivity over its subject matter, the movie was just a well made action thriller that reminded them of die hard. They bash it for its insensitivity, its exploitation of a sensitive subject, its shallowness. Critics were, for the most part extremely harsh on this movie. the movie also goes out of its way to flaunt various 'buzz words' in what could easily be interpreted as a way to mock them, like when a shooter kills a student and says 'trigger warning'. Besides the sensitive matter of guns and schools and kids dying. Ok let's address the elephant in the room - Run, Hide, Fight is controversial. It's also what got me sort of interested in the movie. Or at least, thats the most favorable description I saw in people praising the movie, and I feel that it is somewhat accurate in terms of what tone/pace the movie is emulating. For those who haven't heard of it - Run, Hide, Fight is a movie that is best described as Die Hard but a school shooting. ![]()
