Run is a thrilling and intense action movie that was released in 1991. The movie stars Patrick Dempsey, Kelly Preston, and Ken Pogue. Directed by Geoff Burrowes, this film boasts of high-speed chases, tense situations, and heart-stopping moments that leave the audience on the edge of their seat. The story revolves around Charlie Farrow (played by Patrick Dempsey), a law student who witnesses a murder committed by his father (played by Ken Pogue). Shocked and terrified by what he has just seen, Charlie goes into hiding, knowing that his father and his father's accomplices will stop at nothing to eliminate him as a witness. To protect himself, Charlie assumes a new identity and moves to Seattle, where he meets Karen Landers (played by Kelly Preston).

Charlie's life becomes a never-ending nightmare as he is constantly pursued by the people who want him dead. They chase him from Seattle to Canada, where he is relentlessly pursued by his father and others who are after him. As the story unfolds, Charlie and Karen's lives become more and more intertwined, and they begin to fall in love.

The movie is action-packed from start to finish, with no shortage of car chases, gunfights, and near-miss moments. Despite the intense action and thrilling moments, the movie is also emotionally charged, with several moments that tug at the heartstrings.

The acting in the movie is superb, with Patrick Dempsey delivering a convincing performance as Charlie Farrow.

Kelly Preston is also excellent as Karen Landers, providing a much-needed balance to the action-heavy scenes. Her character is strong, smart, and resourceful, and her chemistry with Dempsey is palpable.

Ken Pogue, who plays Charlie's father, is also outstanding. He portrays his character's ruthless nature with great ease, making him the perfect villain for the story. The rest of the cast performs well, with no weak link in the acting department.

The direction of the movie is commendable, with Geoff Burrowes doing an excellent job of keeping the story moving at a brisk pace. He handles the action scenes with great skill, making them exciting and realistic. The movie's cinematography is also noteworthy, with a lot of stunning scenery captured beautifully.

The movie's soundtrack is also worth mentioning, comprising of original songs that fit perfectly with the movie's tone. The theme song, "Run to You" by Bryan Adams, is particularly memorable and adds to the movie's emotional impact.

In conclusion, Run is a movie that is well worth watching. It has all the elements of a great action movie, combined with a touching love story and strong performances by the cast.
