Bruce Campbell's Running Time getting new Blu-ray release!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

So this is cool! It seems the 1997 indie heist thriller RUNNING TIME – starring Bruce Campbell (EVIL DEAD, BUBBA HO-TEP) – will finally be coming to Blu-ray from the first time, from Synapse Films! Here's the official description:

Bruce Campbell stars as Carl, a man who launches a full-scale heist to steal mob money from the prison that just released him. With the help of an old friend (Jeremy Roberts), a driver and a safe-cracker, Carl’s attempt to carry out the heist is fraught with incompetence and bad luck. As the clock ticks and the circumstances turn tragic, Carl is forced to make the most important decision of his life.

Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope and filmed over twenty years before Sam Mendes’ 1917, writer/director Josh Becker designed Running Time to play out using the “one continuous shot” technique with no computer-assisted trickery. Expertly photographed and edited on film to take place over 70 minutes of real-time, this gritty crime thriller was shot entirely on location in the streets of Los Angeles.”
