Cat Run Audience Reviews

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Argemaluco 11 years ago, director John Stockwell impressed me very much with the film Crazy/Beautiful, but his following movies were very far from reaching that level, such as Cat Run, which I consider (with the exception of the deplorable Into the Blue) his worst film so far. This is a pity, because I think that Stockwell is a solid director who (with the exception of Crazy/Beautiful) hasn't found a project which fully exploits his talent; and after having watched Cat Run, it's evident that the same thing keeps happening.Cat Run pretended to emulate the style made popular by director Guy Ritchie in the films Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Stockwell employed the well-known techniques of quick edition, freeze frame, split screen and animated transitions. However, those tricks feel false, like if Stockwell forcedly introduced them after the shooting, contradicting the general tone from the narrative. Having said that, I understand why he did that...the screenplay lacks of any flow or excitement, and its lazy structure takes us from one scene to another without any enthusiasm or energy. However, the stylish aspects Stockwell added to the film didn't avoid it from being boring, mainly because of the screenplay.Paz Vega is a talented actress, but the character she plays is totally flat and passive. She isn't even a "damsel in danger"; she's just the screenplay's "mcguffin"...that thing which generates conflict because everyone wants to find it. The villains are forgettable clichés; and the duet of North American "heroes" are hateful because of how poorly written they are and the atrocious performances from Scott Mechlowicz and Alphonso McAuley in those roles.Even though Cat Run was a tedious experience, it has one element I liked very much...Janet McTeer's performance. I guess Helen Mirren rejected to play the character of the British efficient killer, and McTeer took advantage of the opportunity in order to bring a brilliant performance. In spite of that, I didn't like Cat Run, mainly because of the bad screenplay and its abundance of irritating characters.
Mere Humsafar The movie has everything to keep you engrossed for its 100 min..the right amount of comedy by the amateur detectives(the actors are authentic in their roles), the overall thrill,the good pace,good visuals..The editing has taken care that you don't have to suffer even a single dull moment And outstanding performance by Janet McTeer as one of the coolest and most efficient killers I have seen in such kind of movies..The beauty and glamor of Paz Vega could have been handled more effectively..After all, it is not very often we across thrillers/actions which have right amount of comedy and entertainment
kosmasp With a very stellar cast. Paz Vega beautiful as ever, but also some acting heavyweights in there too. The action is filmed nicely and the fact this aimed for an adult audience (with the action and the erotic situations, though still tending to go for funny most of the time) really helped it. DL Hughley has a small part in this (most of him that is, which you'll get after watching the movie), but he is really something in it. Very funny indeed.The story is nothing special and the coincidences might be a bit too much for some. But it has charm and charisma and if you have a heart for those small budget movies, you might find it entertaining enough to actually like ... like I did.
Claudio Carvalho The Andorran call girl and single mother Catalina "Cat" Rona (Paz Vega) is hired to participate in an orgy in Montenegro with other escorts and powerful men and the American Senator William Krebb (Christopher McDonald). Something goes wrong with the politician and all the girls are murdered by the security of the host to avoid witnesses. However Cat escapes and brings a hard-drive with classified information with her. There is a manhunt for Cat and the cruel assassin Helen Bingham (Janet McTeer) is hired to retrieve the HD and kill Cat. Meanwhile the Americans Julian Simms (Alphonso McAuley) and Anthony Hester (Scott Mechlowicz) decide to open a detective agency to raise money. When they see on the newspaper that Cat is being chased, they decide to seek her out expecting to receive a reward. However, they cross the path of Helen and they end protecting Cat from the killer. When Helen is betrayed by those who had hired her, she decides to help Anthony, Julian and Cat to retrieve the HD and their freedom."Cat Run" is an action-comedy with a heavy handed direction and lack of humor in a rip-off of Guy Ritchie style. Unfortunately the plot is silly and absurd and never works. In addition, Alphonso McAuley is not funny and Helen Bingham is a cliché of other assassins. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Gata em Fuga" ("Cat in Flight")
