K AugustJune 12, 2026A charming buddy-cop film that should have been a bigger hit than it was (maybe even leading to a series, much like 'Lethal Weapon'), I watched this film back in the 1980s, and I wondered if I would ever see another film like this in that big, bad era of explosions, endless bullets, and plenty of bodies for our entertainment. 'Running Scared' wants to amuse us while we root for Crystal and Hines to make it to the end and save the day...and those rookies who are clearly a threat to their prestige.
And maybe they deserve that retirement!
