“u0026quot;Runawayu0026quot; is several notches above your normal Saturday night, Lifetime, woman-in-jeopardy thriller.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst notch, Sherry Stringfield is excellent. She faded into the woodwork when part of the ER ensemble and multiple plot lines. She is front and center here as the lead with one story, her story, and you totally believe her performance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSecond notch, Alex Wright is a very good thriller director. He tells the story, without trying to show off. It is clean, it is crisp.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThird notch, the film looks good. Good visuals, good locations, I did not recognize anything from a thousand other Lifetime films. It is all believable and relatable for the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnly quibble (no spoilers), the high school womenu0026#39;s tennis team shown in the background of several scenes should have been a lot better.”
