All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Rotten (2)

  • [Features] an ending that is not only predictable but (in the way it's handled) one of the more ridiculous final scenes in recent movie history.

  • Eddie Macon's Run is a film for immediate consumption, and none of those involved in the movie must be surprised that one starts forgetting about them even during the screening. [Full Review in Spanish]

Audience Reviews for Eddie Macon's Run

  • Jan 12, 2012
    I mainly watched this movie because I'm a big fan of The Dukes Of Hazzard & it had John Schneider but Kurt Douglas stole the show.He was great as the beyond determined cop trying to capture Eddie Macon & prove to himself that he isn't over the hill.Eddie Macon's Run is an OK movie & if nothing else it's worth watching just to see Kurt Douglas's performance.Now if I can only get the theme song out of my head....... Don't you know that I love you?
