   What makes 'running on empty' a good movie?

   • ''Running on Empty'' works best when it plays upon emotions generated by the Popes' unique predicament, something that it often does rather shamelessly. It helps that Sidney Lumet has directed the film in a crisp, handsome style that diminishes the maudlin or unlikely aspects of its story, even when they threaten to intrude.

   What happens in 'running on empty'?

   How does 'empty' start?

   • "Empty" opens with an atmospheric sequence in which the Pope family evade the FBI. We then watch as they settle into a new town and enrol their kids in a new school. In one cute scene, Danny arrives late to his first music lesson, and is asked by the teacher to explain the difference between Beethoven and Madonna.

   Running on Empty. 67. Metascore. 17 reviews · Provided by Metacritic.com. 100. Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert. There are great performances in the central roles. Phoenix essentially carries the story; it's about him. Lahti and Hill have that shattering scene together.
