Better Start Running Review

MovieWise Analysis

The Story: Released in 2018, Better Start Running centers on a narrative that explores Drama, Comedy. An eclectic band of misfits becomes an unlikely family as they take a wild journey in the name of love while on the run from an overzealous FBI duo who want them dead or alive - preferably dead.

Cinematic Style: The production design and direction elevate the core premise, moving beyond standard genre tropes. Defined by its unique tone—often described as "This is a getaway. Not a vacation."—the film balances visual spectacle with character-driven moments.

The Experience: The thematic depth here is surprising for a Drama, Comedy title. It explores the human condition through a lens that feels grounded despite the cinematic scale of the production.

The Verdict: While many films in the Drama, Comedy space rely on formula, this project takes risks with its storytelling. For fans of the cast, it provides plenty of depth to chew on long after the credits roll.
