United States | Chicago Reader | "There is something disturbing in the way the film elevates cynicism and detachment into heroic attitudes." | NEU |

United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "This genre is so overpopulated that it hardly seems like we need one more example, and yet "Running Scared" transcends its dreary roots and turns out to be a lot of fun." | POS |
