Escaped convict Sam Gillen single handedly takes on ruthless developers determined to evict Clydie - a widow with two young children. Nobody knows who Sam is. Nowhere to Run is far from being one of Van Damme's best for sure but it's far from his worst either, i think the biggest problem was definitely the cheesy villains but also how the movie dragged in few parts but Jean Claude tries his best as he was used to back in the early and late 90's and the end result is a watchable although pretty forgettable drama, action, romance flick. (6.5/10)

I like most of VanDamme's movies. They're for the most part no-brain movies with a lot of action! This one, not so much! Instead we get here an actual movie with a plot and some really decent acting(yes, even VanDamme!!) Buyer by ware that there is some nudity, but it just really works with the story line! A small amount of swearing, with the F bomb dropped once! Still, worth a watch if you're a fan of good movies, and a definite watch if you've been waiting for something different with VanDamme in it!! 9/10

This is another Jean-Claude Van Damme action flick, but a definite notch above many of his other films, at least in production values. The photography and stereo sound are excellent.Actually, this is pretty simple stuff and old storyline of a low-key good guy rescuing the girl from local meanies. Here, Van Damme defends Rosanna Arquette and her small kids.In another respect, the movie is just another avenue for the two stars to show off their incredible bodies. Neither has ever been shy about doing that and certainly aren't in this movie. My only objection is having one of the kids make a sexual remark, which is done in here. There is no excuse for that.Ted Levine, who has turned nice guy in the hit TV series "Monk," is an effective bad guy in here. He played a lot of villains before "Monk" came around.Anyway, it's fairly low-brow entertainment, but at least it is entertaining and fun to watch.

I've always been a great fan of this film, I really think is underrated just because is starred by the the action star Jean Claude Van Damme,who had proved that he can be a competent actor.NOWHERE TO RUN IS ONE OF HIS BEST WORKS, a very well done film, with great performances, very good story and a really good soundtrack..it has action scenes that are all really good made,but in this film are different than other Van Damme movies, I would say that here the fights are more realistic according with the story but some jean claude fans can be disappointed, I am a big Van Damme fan and I was not disappointed at all, I really believe Van Damme needs more movies like this or the legionarie, JCVD,in hell to silence his critics...A GREAT FILM
