Review of Runaway

Runaway (2022– )
5/10
Good Plot, Average Execution
14 June 2022
Kaçis was a very hyped project because of its original plot and production value. Well, let me tell you beforehand, it has originality and good production but unfortunately that is all.

Premise is strong. A war photographer finds himself trapped in a small village surrounded by radical terrorists who also hold his photographer friends that he came along. Cinematography is another strong aspect as well as a decent production budget spent on locations, costumes, sets...

Acting is average but this is mainly because of bad screenwriting. Protagonist makes the worst possible,and possibly the most illogical choices. This makes audience feel like nothing is natural and beats, incidents of the story are pushed by consistently wrong and brainless choices of characters.

Another big flaw is editing and music. There are 10 cuts in every 30 seconds. You don't have to cut to different wide or drone shots or every characters reaction during intense scenes. Music editing choices are not professional as well.

I give it a 5/10 for the sake of production and original concept and story created by talented Engin Akyurek.
