RUNAWAY (Theatrical Release USA 1984)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Runaway, despite its subject matter, has an easy-on-the-mind presentation with just enough action to keep attention. The storyline is very good; the acting good to average. The movie, written and directed by Michael Crichton, uses the worthy talents of Tom Selleck to tell its story.
