"It took a while to get used to the Run For Your Life's kinetic format, but eventually I stopped noticing it and just enjoyed the ride. It's not going to be for everyone, but I liked it due to the pace of the story and the casting." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe
"I admittedly have not seen the original film (or at least I don't remember seeing it), so I will only judge Edgar Wright's film on its own merits. And in this case, I found the film to be an example of style over substance, and despite its fast pace there is not a lot of story to be seen." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"Florence Pugh was impeccably cast in the lead role. Considering how much she's on-screen, that has a lot to do with how well the film works. Run For Your Life is not a groundbreaking thriller like its source material, but it is another successful collaboration between writer Chad Taylor and the star." - Allen Poole, AV Club
Rated R for language and violence
