Run & Gun

Run & Gun has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 73 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Ben Milliken anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Start it on fuboTV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Run & Gun is worth clearing space for. Run & Gun treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. After leaving a life of crime and violence, Ray is a reformed good guy, enjoying a quiet family life in the ‘burbs. But when his past is discovered, Ray is blackmailed into one last job to collect a mysterious package. After a deadly double-cross, he finds himself wounded and on the run from ruthless assassins who will stop at nothing to get what he has. Ben Milliken and Brad William Henke lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2022. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Run & Gun passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Run & Gun will keep you hooked. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Watch Ben Milliken work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
