Running from the Guns

About This Movie

Running from the Guns is one of those quirky Australian action flicks that manages to blend comedy and thriller elements quite nicely. The film sees Dave and Peter, played by Jon Blake and Mark Hembrow, find themselves in a precarious situation after mistakenly grabbing a box packed with cash instead of toys. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as the duo dodges a relentless gang of thugs determined to retrieve their money. There's a certain charm in its rough-around-the-edges practical effects and the performances feel genuine, adding to that laid-back Melbourne vibe. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but there’s enough tension to keep you on your toes. It’s a bit of an oddity, but that’s what makes it distinct.
