We have news about an organ thief film called Run for Her Life for you today, thanks to our good friends over at comingsoon:
“National Treasure” star Diane Kruger has landed the female lead opposite Dermot Mulroney in Baltasar Kormakur’s thriller Run for Her Life.
Kruger and Mulroney play parents who attempt to get a lung transplant for their dying daughter in Mexico. But after agreeing to the operation, they face an ethical dilemma after discovering that the organs aren’t taken from willing donors.
I remember seeing a shitty organ thieving film as a child, and it spooked the hell out of me. The idea of someone capturing you and using you for “parts” is disturbing on many levels.
I would prefer if the family found out the organs were taken from an unwilling donor after surgery was completed on their child. Having it happen beforehand usually means long drawn out scenes where the parents wrestle with this moral dilemma. It’ s far more interesting to me, to see them deal with this information after their child is alive and well post-surgery. Would they tell their kid, or forever keep the secret from them?
This is the type of twisted drama that I wish would stay in the realm of fiction.
