Reviews
For Ulrich Kriest from the film service you have “seen everything before - and then much better!” So “Run for Your Life” is “a film that shows the enthusiasm of the cast ensemble, but also its limited budget . Well-known television actors such as Udo Schenk, Axel Stein and Leslie Malton testify where this film would have its legitimate performance location. ” Jochen Temsch from the Süddeutsche Zeitung , on the other hand, sees a“ drug drama with the courage to feel great ”. Also Steffen Gerth from the mirror observes "a thrilling anti-drug plea with great morals and Ruhr color", but criticized black and white painting: "Drugs are bad, bad, bad - this woodcut-like instruction is the message of" Run for your life ". 27 years after the film "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo", there is another major German anti-drug film in the cinema. That's the good news. The bad one is: "Christiane F." was better. " Ute Nardenbach (Teleschau) particularly emphasizes the performance of the main actor:" Especially thanks to (his) intense play (...) 'Run for Your Life - From Junkie to Ironman' is more haunting and touching for a long time and also an authentic film, but over the length of 102 minutes it puts a strain on the viewer's stamina and stamina. ”Gernot Gricksch from TV Digital wrote in issue 9 of April 18 that the unusual story and lead actor would fascinate Riemelt, even if the Concentrate film too much on the junkie years and the athletic show of strength would only be hastily and undramatic.
