Here's another cop thriller with a terrified witness, a determined assassin, and a highly untrustworthy supporting cast. Run if You Can is all about a young woman who turns on her TV for a little entertainment and relaxation, only to tune in on a real-life murder in progress. This one works best when the plot convolutions are ignored; otherwise, the viewer will be at a complete loss as to what the heck is going on. Actors Martin Landau, Yvette Nipar and Jerry Van Dyke look as confused as we are. Director Virginia Lively Stone is not the same Virginia Stone who used to coproduce "actuality" movies like Ring of Fire and Last Voyage with husband Andrew Stone.
