an escaped convict protect a widow from greedy land developer who want the property for something . along the way the escaped convict fall for the widow and become a father figure for her two child . i want to make this clear and i quite enjoy jean claude van damme and his movie and i recommend bloodsport and kickboxer and universal soldier . however nowhere to run be just an awful movie . when jean claude van damme interacts with kieren culkin and the little girl and i just cringe . even cringe more when jean claude make pass towards rosanna arquette . indeed there be a very awkward moment where rosanna arquette and the daughter in the movie discus van damme penis size at the dinner table and which then have kieren culkin all happy that his mom have see jean claude penis . yecch . it all just cringe worthy material . with melodrama so leaden in sentiment that it make me want to throw up . add on a sappy end and you have what rank a one of jean claude bad movie . out of 4 ( bad ) .
