What is Run Away about?

Simon Greene’s comfortable family life caves in when his daughter Paige, lost to addiction, surfaces busking in a city park — then vanishes again after their reunion erupts into violence. When the man she ran off with turns up dead, Simon plunges into an underworld of dealers, fixers and hired muscle to bring her back, discovering Paige was fleeing secrets rooted inside her own family. James Nesbitt anchors this eight-part Harlan Coben maze, adapted for British soil by Danny Brocklehurst.

Celluloid verdict: Vintage Coben comfort viewing — a preposterous, propulsive missing-person maze rated among his stronger Netflix outings, powered by James Nesbitt’s weathered desperation even as the twists strain all credulity. The cast is led by James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati.
