Description: Michelle Schumacher’s “You Can’t Run Forever” isn't just a thriller; it’s a visceral exploration of trauma and its relentless pursuit. J.K. Simmons delivers a chilling performance as the relentless hunter, his presence a palpable threat mirroring the internal chaos of the teenage protagonist, played with heartbreaking vulnerability by Isabelle Anaya. The film masterfully uses the claustrophobic setting of the woods to amplify the character's anxieties, creating a tension that claws at the viewer long after the credits roll.
