Simone M @RT57622217 Oct 10, 2023 An interesting premise with fun payoff! This film is very much set in Nebraska but it's got the excitement of a Hollywood thriller. If you're an indie film lover, Running Through Darkness will certainly scratch that itch for you and more! See more Catherane S @Catherane Oct 7, 2023 The story of a Good Samaritan who comes across an injured young woman on his daily run and tries to do the right thing, Calvin who plays the lead is very watchable. There are some breath-holding moments as the story unfolds. The camera work is very good in much of the film with some great, scenic locations. The running sequences are definitely worth a look. See more Kyle S @RT80253104 Oct 1, 2023 Running Through Darkness is a dark and effective thriller with a story that will keep you guessing. A man tries to help a woman, who then makes him an ominous proposition. He gets sucked in to a world of threats, crime, and violence. The story goes to some really unexpected and dark places that I did not expect. It really will keep you on the edge of you seat as you try to guess the twists and turns. The writing was very effective in this way. The directing was very good also. The cinematography was fantastic, most especially during an epic foot chase sequence. If you're looking for a thrilling adventure, this film is your ticket. See more Kris Y @RT94786236 Jul 7, 2023 I ran across this crime thriller on the streaming service Tubi and although it is an older movie (2018) it does a great job at bucking social norms and expectations. Definitely ahead of it's time. Running Through Darkness is a tale of an ordinary guy Calvin (played by Landon Beard), who discovers a beaten and left for dead woman Robin (played by Lillian Bornstein), and he is immediately pulled into her dark and dangerous world. I don't want to give away any spoilers but I will tell you this indie gem is worth a watch. I give the cast and crew two thumbs up and recommend this movie to anyone who likes a thrilling crime drama. See more michelle l @RT80308375 Mar 18, 2023 I was engaged from start to finish. I loved the cinematography it gave the whole movie a very rich cinematic feel. I loved the classic mustang. The Actors were all fantastic especially the lead. The story was engaging and original. I love discovering well made Indie gems like these. It was great seeing a movie shot in Nebraska, I can't say I've ever seen a movie shot in Nebraska before. I loved the chase scene and the action was exciting and well choreographed. The poster caught my eye and the film itself did not disappoint. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a well shot and well written indie thriller. See more TRAVIS G @RT13574667 Mar 7, 2023 Just watched the movie.
