mountaincoffee No, "Running free" ("One Paw") isn't the best movie ever made. I really liked it, however. It's a fine piece of family entertainment. Yes, some of the plot is a bit on the silly side. However, I think that on the balance, the movie works for what it is intended to be.I think that the film work with the wolverines is great and deserves respect. Outside of it being a feel-good family movie, "Running Free" is also a small work of education on, or at least a cursory introduction to, these often under-understood creatures. This film shows that there is obviously more to the fearsome "Devil Bear" than its general reputation would suggest. Writer/Director Steve Kroschel is known for his personal love and dedication to wolverines. I suspect that a movie of this sort would only be possible through the caring work and knowledge of such a person.

Nathan Smith I saw this once when I was in my early teens. My younger brother and I could not finish the movie. We made fun of our father for bringing it home in the first place. The only value "Running Free" provided us with was a reference to judge other bad movies against. "Running Free" or "One Paw" is, in our view, the worst film we'd been exposed to.The movie has the look of a one-hour Sunday afternoon CBC made for TV movie. The most expensive scene must be when the bad guys attack One Paw and the kid with grenades from a helicopter. Why throw grenades at a wolverine from a helicopter? Why not shoot it or trap it? Poor.Do not rent this film. Hopefully you are just reading this for idle curiosity and not because you are a fan of "Running Free".
