Cat Run has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
Stephen Holden, New York Times: WEAK "...the only saving grace... is Janet McTeer's deadpan portrayal of a lethal freelance 'interrogator'.... Otherwise, it is an incoherent hybrid of buddy movie, 'Girls Gone Wild' episode and James Bond spoof..." (Read the full review...) 420 words, 04/01/11 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "Though John Stockwell's action comedy is shamelessly derivative, his enthusiastic cast propels it much further than it should go." (Read the full review...) 112 words, 04/01/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...there is a careless lack of attention about the whole thing, something that could be perceived as smugness if the film didn't feel so haphazard and lazy." (Read the full review...) 303 words, 04/01/11 Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times: MODERATE (cg) "Writer-director John Stockwell, who directed the anti-gringo slasher film 'Turista' (2006), calls 'Cut Run' a 'hilariously violent action-comedy.' He's got the violent part down." (Read the full review...) 285 words, 04/01/11 Michelle Orange, Village Voice/LA Weekly: FAIR "Director John Stockwell ('Turistas') uses split screens, a blaxploitation soundtrack, and hammy, 'Get Smart' sound effects to put some old-school spring in 'Cat Run's' step. It makes for an odd combination..." (Read the full review...) 198 words, 03/30/11
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: WEAK (cg) "...torture scenes are way too grim for the movie's mostly humorous outlook, and the cast lingers over lame jokes that might almost work if delivered faster." (Read the full review...) 453 words, 04/02/11

(Read the full review...) 198 words, 03/30/11 Scott Tobias, AV Club: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "Words like 'smug,' 'derivative,' and 'shallow' could all be fairly applied... but as a piece of late-night exploitation, it delivers the violence and nudity with the regularity of an IV drip, and some familiar faces in the cast help class it up." (Read the full review...) 369 words, 03/31/11 Jesse Cataldo, Slant: POOR (cg) "Torn messily between international intrigue, detective story, and buddy comedy... little more than a collection of bad ideas glued hastily together."

John Anderson, Daily Variety: WEAK "...an often stylish but wearying action thriller that fails even to be convincingly tongue-in-cheek as it trots around Eastern Europe, recycling conventions and arch brutality." (Read the full review...) 751 words, 04/03/11 Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: FAIR "...could have been several notches better with more charismatic leads and some dialogue upgrades but still would have felt like a genre hand-me-down.... [still,] Janet McTeer is entirely commanding here and really takes over the movie by its mid-point..."
