I'm not going to give away the ending of "Eddie Macon's Run," but that is more than the filmmakers do. They telegraph the key events in this movie so clearly that at the 60-minute mark I predicted aloud exactly what decision Kirk Douglas would make at the end of the movie. And I was right. My intuition came as he was eating spaghetti and talking about his childhood.
