Bruce Campbell's 1997 Crime Thriller 'Running Time' Resurfaces on Tubi

Bruce Campbell, best known as the chainsaw-wielding Ash Williams in the Evil Dead franchise, demonstrates his dramatic range in the 1997 crime thriller Running Time, now streaming on Tubi. The film, which blends the heist-gone-wrong tension of Reservoir Dogs with the real-time, one-take aesthetic of Birdman, follows a recently paroled convict who plans a seemingly simple robbery that quickly spirals out of control. Directed by Josh Becker, a longtime collaborator of Campbell and Sam Raimi, Running Time was shot in a single continuous take, adding to its gritty, immersive realism. For fans of Campbell and independent 1990s cinema, the film's availability on a free streaming platform offers a rare chance to see a lesser-known but compelling performance from the cult icon. As streaming services continue to mine genre back catalogs, Running Time's resurgence highlights the enduring appeal of taut, low-budget crime dramas.
