“Run Sweetheart Run” (*1/2 out of four) was a genuinely bizarre melodrama about a young woman (Ella Balinska) who goes out on a date with a seemingly nice guy (Pilou Asbaek) who turns out to be a sicko who attempts to hunt her down and kill her and she has to run for her life throughout a deadly maze of a city until she decides enough-is-enough and she decides to hunt and kill him! Film attempts to mix elements of Kubrickian horror and Tarantino psychedelic action and suspense but the result is surreal and ugly. Filmed in 2019 and then re-edited and re-filed with additional scenes, to not much avail. Not to be confused with “Run Lola Run” despite similar title and almost the exact same movie poster.
