Run This Town Reviews
The film feels scattered, and its lack of a central rooting protagonist does nothing to help the situation.

Jam packed and lightening-paced it hop scotches around, pausing only long enough to linger on a grotesque caricature of Rob "Show me some respect, will ya?" Ford.

It's almost astonishing just how misbegotten and uninvolving Run This Town is virtually from the get-go...

[A]mbition only goes so far, and Run This Town simply lacks the screenwriting smarts to keep up with itself.

This story of a rookie reporter tries to blow the lid on a mysogynist, racist, crackhead Mayor. But the script and its execution has its problems.

For some reason, the film approaches the Rob Ford episode from the oddest, most inexplicable angle imaginable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2020
Drama based on politician's scandal; cursing, drugs.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 12, 2020
This shrewdly constructed movie leaves the monster in the background and highlights the eager and opportunistic help.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2020
Lost in poor editing and poor character development, Run This Town seems fated to become lost in a sea of releases. There was so much this film could have said, so much depth it could have provided, and it is a real shame to see it fall so flat.

The screenplay by writer-director Ricky Tollman is a real mess that tries to cram together two storylines when one would have more than sufficed and then proceeds to botch both of them.

Has intelligent observations about how financial necessity and ambition can easily overtake morality.

The late Rob Ford is portrayed as a ravenous monster of a man, I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's pure soap, even as gritty as it gets.

Despite some intriguing character dynamics and scrappy performances, it features lots of talking with little to say.

When you can't even make Rob Ford a captivating figure, you know something has gone very wrong.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 6, 2020
This is well-trod territory in 2020, explored richly in any number of 온라인카지노추천 shows and films, and the choice to center Run This Town on Millennial malaise is an odd one.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 6, 2020
If you're looking for a cogent argument about class, gender, race, and opportunity in the modern professional world, it simply doesn't deliver.
