		Running on Empty is directed by Sidney Lumet from a screenplay by Naomi Foner.
		With just the right combination of seriousness and sentiment, Running on Empty compels us to think about the bonds which tie a family together, the onerous responsibilities of parenting, and the burdens of children who are sensitive to the needs of their mothers and fathers.
		Running on Empty is one of the most poignant and edifying works on the blessings and burdens of family love to come to the screen in the 1980s.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Running on Empty \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		A unique metaphor for the "empty nest" syndrome, "Running on Empty" is perhaps the most powerful, moving film of the year so far, and certainly will be at the front of the line for Oscar contenders.
		And because of the nature of this story, Lumet and Foner are able to tell it in the trappings of a suspense film, explore the conflict of '60s sensibilities in the '80s and use the situation as a metaphor for the problems of the modern nuclear family.
		The film builds slowly and at first it seems to be a family version of "Bonnie and Clyde" as the foursome stays one step ahead of the law.

		It was great fun, the perfect human-interest story -- at least until the team wiped out on one of their runs and for one sickening moment it looked as though the sledders couldn't possibly have escaped serious injury or even death.
		Unfortunately, Cool Runnings, the Disney-ized version of that legend, exhibits little of the real-life Jamaican bobsled team's audacity, unpredictability, or willingness to flout convention.
		John Candy, a marginally bankable white actor, is brought in to play the coach and, more important, to give the film a sympathetic Caucasian character to root for.

	ArtForum: Running on empty: Daniel Birnbaum on the art of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster
		One point of departure was a scene from Tsai's film that made such a lasting impression on Gonzalez-Foerster that she eventually journeyed to the distant location where it was shot to try to understand it better.
		A prisoner in the park, I final]y could connect the film and the space in an intense way." Out of this charged atmospheric moment came her art; in work after work, Gonzalez-Foerster targets those exquisite sensations that are so evasive they lack names but are distinct enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
		One recent example is the fifteen-minute film Plages (2001), shot from a hotel room in Rio de Janeiro that overlooks the Copacabana and accompanied by a patchwork sound track of voices, music, and exploding fireworks.

	Running on Empty
		Arthur runs the family in an autocratic manner, making all of the decisions, training his sons how to live anonymously (even remembering to stay home the day of the school picture), and maintaining a fortress mentality suspicious of all outside contact.
		This film is clearly about Phoenix's character Danny: he appears in nearly every scene, and you would think he would have to be considered the lead actor), and this is one of the finest performances of his brief career.
		For instance, at the beginning of the film, Danny unties one of his chucks and gives it to their pet dog to bring inside and signal his younger brother Harry that it is time to drop everything and flee the town they are currently living in.

		Herbie, the VW with a mind of its own, remains steadfastly mute, relying on blinking his headlight and flexing his bumpers to show emotion, as well as the old standby of leaking oil into the bad guy's face or flipping open his boot to smack a villain in the chops.
		A film that can only be of interest to 12-year-old boys or those who get their rocks off on loving shots of military hardware, Stealth is an exercise in tedium.
		The end result is a film that resembles a parody of a beer commercial.

	VENICE 2000 REVIEW: Running on Empty, Tykwer's Comedown with "The Princess and The Warrior"
		After the adrenaline rush of last year's "Run, Lola, Run," with its pulse-racing techno score and smooth kinetic grace, it would seem impossible for the German wunderkind to concoct anything harder, faster and louder than "Lola." In "The Princess & The Warrior," economy is the last thing on Tykwer's mind.
		Running nearly an hour longer than its 78-minute predecessor, incorporating an expansive sound and vision that's as meandering and baroque as a Pink Floyd fever dream, this awkward film is unlikely to attract the same art-house devotion as "Run, Lola, Run."
		Tykwer has said that music was his inspiration for "The Princess and The Warrior," but rather than use the score as the film's furious heartbeat, like he did in "Lola," Tykwer makes it its sluggish lifeblood, infusing minimalist piano tinklings to build tension in scenes that were moribund and chilly to begin with.

		After watching Running on Empty you will probably not be much the wiser about that, but you will perhaps have some idea what it must be like to be constantly on the run from the law, and just how hard it can be to shake your past.
		Released in 1988, Running on Empty stars a young River Phoenix as Danny Pope, the teenage son of Arthur and Annie Pope (Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti), a couple of ex-anarchists who are still on the run from the FBI after a mission to blow up a napalm lab in 1971 went wrong.
		While their children are young, this running proves mostly successful, but as Danny approaches the end of his school years, he is faced with decisions about college, love, and his future.

		Running On Empty is a biography of the late actor River Phoenix.
		The format is also different from all other biographies because it includes an analysis of the themes and characters found in Phoenix’s 15 films, a narrative fantasy, a tribute, poems with Phoenix as the subject and most of all, a chronological review of each of his films.
		Running on Empty is sure to appeal to a wide range of readers, as anyone who enjoys biographies, entertainment in general, or River Phoenix in particular, will come away with a fresh perspective on this one-of-a-kind humanitarian entertainer

		The movie is not so much a chase story with the Popes running from the law, but rather deals with the Popes' fugitive life style and the effect it has on their two sons.
		The film deals with the age-old struggle of becoming your own person in conflict with what your family would like you to be.
		The actors are very believable in their roles, and the film has an emotional intensity that caused quite a few tears in the audience I was in.

	Running On Empty
		The film is really about young Danny experiencing self-conflict about whether to remain with his family, or to leave them and pursue his own dreams which involve music, which he is extremely talented in.
		The final half of the film is about Arthur and Annie's struggle to grip the fact that Danny has grown up, and they can't hold onto him forever.
		Perhaps the film could raise questions about the consequences of those who did commit such acts in the 60's, but the main focus of the story is about this family and letting go in the name os displaying true love.

		The best reason to watch this film is of course the performance by River Phoenix, which now that he's dead, we will never know if he could have topped this.
		Another reason to watch the film is Christine Lahti from Chicago Hope who gives her best screen performance here.
		She won the Los Angeles Film Critic's award for Best Actress of 1988 and received a Golden Globe nomination but unfortunately she must have just missed when they announced who the five finalists were for the Oscar.

	Running On Empty - DVD Review
		Technically competent and providing underground atmosphere at times, Running On Empty does tend to work during some initial stages as some characters are written in a fairly fresh way due to them expressing the need to work for a living, even at a low paid construction site gig.
		It is bravura filmmaking and spice the film needs for the viewer to snap out of a coma but you don't want that verdict slapped on you as a filmmaker.
		Running On Empty is merely blessed with that and any minor tangents of interest via dialogue interaction between our desperate outlaws gets smothered by a lack of skill to use these unknown faces as a journey into the reality of the tale.

		The huge state cotton farms bring little wealth now, while the water running to waste from leaking canals and waterlogged fields is poisoning huge swaths of the country with salt.
		The stuff is everywhere - in drinking water, in soils, in the air during the huge dust storms that blow off the dried up sea, and ultimately in the bodies of the people.
