There were plenty of reasons not to review Run This Town. Taking a true and interesting Canadian story and using that story as a way to draw attention to an otherwise pointless film is not something to be rewarded. Getting a chance to see the film for free and knowing people might want to watch this film, we chose to review the film. Writer/director Ricky Tollman's major sin was taking away Robyn Doolittle from the story. What we didn't realise was the loss of journalism competence. Tollman's protagonist Bram Shriver (American actor Ben Platt) is the classic millennial stereotype of thinking he is better than he is. Shriver is a particularly unappealing character; hard to tell if Platt is that good of an actor to portray someone no one would like or whether he isn't that good of an actor. Tollman deals in these millennial themes: taking poor job situations because of large student debt (not as much of a factor in Canada). Ashley Pollock (Nina Dobrev) feels compelled to take this low-level job at the Toronto mayor office with a law degree. Pollock explains to her boyfriend Kamal Arafa (Mena Massoud) that people act like a law degree is like a fast pass at Disney but that doesn't get her into Universal. If you could figure out Tollman's point, you were way ahead of your humble narrator. There are several moments where the script is heavy-handed at how bad the world is for millennials without an ounce of subtlety. Read more
