Leave your thoughts about Run the Tide.
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckRajiv Shah’s screenplay fails to flesh out its characters and situations in compelling fashion, leaving the actors struggling to bring depth to the sketchy scenario and Mehta’s uninspired direction. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenIn his first feature outing, director Soham Mehta overplays the significance of virtually every aspect of Rajiv Shah’s script, no matter how minor, with painfully slow pans and needlessly lingering establishing shots. |
| Audiences EverywhereNathanael HoodAll of these performances are subjugated to a meandering story with very little idea what it wants to do with them. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsRoxana HadadiThis is a good showing for Lautner. In a film that is thoughtful without being groundbreaking, Lautner is suitable without being showy. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThis isn’t a terrible film, by any means. It’s a completely forgettable film, which is arguably worse—especially for Lautner, who at this point is on the verge of vanishing down the memory hole with it. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s more scenic than dramatic. Sadly, the same could be said about Lautner, who never seems to deliver even as his window for “stardom” closes. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillRun the Tide never elevates itself beyond the most rote aspects of its story. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyLautner’s earnest turn, as well as those of familiar TV faces Johnson (“Bates Motel,” “The Shield”) and Zimmer (“Entourage,” “UnReal”), are hamstrung by writing that demands a certain emotional urgency while providing the performers little opportunity for surprise or nuance. |
| The Young FolksJim AlexanderRun the Tide is best as a Lifetime movie special of the week. One that falls emotionally flat. |
| User ReviewErick WThe perfect movie if you need a good gut-wrenching soul rinse. A beautifully composed emotional family drama. Loved it. |
