Disconnected 'Running' is ineffective
There are two distinct breeds of screen violence. The first - let's call it "good" violence - is necessitated by story. The shootout on the Western street and Janet Leigh getting it in the shower are excellent examples. The second - the "bad" violence - actually drives the plot and gives a movie its reason for being. Any number of exploitative slasher film executions fall into this category, as does most of the interesting, but flawed, Running Scared.
