The thriller You Can't Run Forever opens with J.K Simmons on a motorcycle rolling up to a remote gas station. There, he pulls out a gun and shoots three people. He seems to have no motivation for this action. Seeing a woman hiding behind her vehicle, he looks at her, laughs to himself and chooses not to kill her. Another man exits the gas station and sees the bodies and Simmons just looks at him, points a finger of acknowledgment, and rides off. It's stunning, breathtaking, and fast way to start a movie. You Can't Run Forever grabs you by the throat from the first minute.
It's such an incredible and brutal start to a movie that there really isn't anywhere to go but down and sadly, yeah, that's where we're headed. You Can't Run Forever stars Isabelle Anaya as Miranda, a troubled teenager. A year ago, Miranda's father took his own life and since then, Anaya has struggled to get by. Her struggle has been unfortunately and unintentionally compounded by the fact that her mother has remarried and is about to have a baby. Stepdad, Eddie (Alan Leech), is a nice guy who has been nothing but supportive and sympathetic toward Miranda but he's not her dad and that weighs on their relationship.
