Reviews

Better Start Running received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.3/10, reflecting a polarized reception. Critics praised Jeremy Irons’ performance, noting that his presence added a layer of gravitas to the otherwise lighthearted story. However, some reviewers felt that the movie struggled to find a consistent tone, with The Guardian commenting that "the film meanders, unsure whether to be a thriller or a comedy," which at times undercut its momentum. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated score for the film due to limited reviews, but audience feedback mirrors the IMDb sentiments, highlighting the film’s charm yet uneven execution. Metacritic ratings are sparse, with no official score, indicating that the movie flew largely under the radar in mainstream critic circles. Overall, while the film is acknowledged for its entertaining moments and solid cast, it falls short of being a standout in its genre, appealing mostly to viewers looking for a casual, light thriller-comedy blend.
