“You Can’t Run Forever” is a 2024 thriller that relies heavily on the menacing presence of J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) to deliver its scares. While Simmons is undeniably creepy as the relentless killer Wade, the film fails to capitalize on its initial promise.

The movie opens strong with a brutal scene at a gas station, showcasing Wade’s cold-blooded nature. A glimmer of intrigue emerges when one of his victims asks, “Why?” only to be met with a chilling “Does it matter?”

This could have been a fascinating exploration of a killer’s motivations, a refreshing departure from the genre’s usual justifications. However, the film quickly abandons this potential and settles into a familiar chase narrative.

While the scenic Pacific Northwest backdrop adds a layer of atmosphere, the plot is pretty basic. The thrills are there, but they never quite reach genuine tension.

Despite its shortcomings, Simmons’ performance deserves credit. He maintains a chilling aura even as the movie loses its grip.

If you’re looking for a truly terrifying experience, “You Can’t Run Forever” might not be your best bet. However, for fans of J.K. Simmons or those seeking a moderately suspenseful chase film, it might be worth a watch.
