It was never made clear exactly how Jane Ravenson developed a severe case of amnesia. Even after stringing the audience along for three-quarters of the film, the circumstances of how she lost her memory were fuzzy.
"See Jane Run" pulled together all of the elements of a melodramatic amnesia film with the protagonist finally piecing together the strands of her past. The dream sequences were fairly effective, yet also routine, as we relived Jane's past right along with her.
The most intriguing character was Paula Marinelli, the woman working at the behest of Dr. Michael Ravenson in order to keep his wife drugged. It appeared as though he was willing to keep her in a permanent comatose stupor. But Paula, who first appeared to be Michael's mistress, eventually turns the tables on him.
While there was a fine set of performances, the pacing of the film was sluggish and too much of the dialogue was bland and predictable. The best scenes were at the beginning when Jane truly was running, actively seeking the truth about her past, instead of languishing in bed and popping pills.
