Tag (2018)

""Can’t keep runnin' away", The Pharcyde proclaim in Runnin', their 1995 single that bookends Tag. Elsewhere the music supervision department has worked overtime to cram in the classics (Danzig’s Mother, Ozzy’s Crazy Train, Ice-T’s Colors), but it’s that Pharcyde hook that sets up the film and its truth-is-stranger-than-fiction premise - what if you could keep running away, perhaps in a game of tag that’s lasted thirty years?"

""Tag" leaves audiences energised and, dare I say, inspired, having delivered all that outrageousness... in service of what ultimately amounts to a sincere celebration of lasting human connections."

"Surprisingly, there's emotional resonance in this slapstick flick about friends who are terrified to hug."

"Despite the occasional mockery of action-movie cliches, Tag contains more tame, ad-libbed banter than inventive chase sequences."

"Tag contains more tame, ad-libbed banter than inventive chase sequences."

"Tag really isn't a film with much on its mind except to entertain you. And at that it mostly succeeds."

""Tag" is, like the game itself, a whole lot of rambunctious fun."

"Tag is neither bad nor good, but rather, despite its out-there story, almost numbingly ordinary: an easy, breezy action-com that's sometimes amusing but rarely funny, competent rather than inspired."

"...a film that is not only funny but rather exciting in its workings..."
