Run Sweetheart Run

Actor Pilou Asbæk is known in the US for his roles in films such as Overlord and most notably his turn as the devilish Euron Greyjob in Game of Thrones. The Danish actor is now tackling villainy in the new film Run Sweetheart Run. But, he’s more than a man who can play bad guys.

Read the full synopsis for Run Sweetheart Run below:

Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meets with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie (Ella Balinska) is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life. This begins a relentless game of cat-and-mouse with a blood-thirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction. In this edge-of-your-seat dark thriller, Cherie finds herself in the crosshairs of a conspiracy stranger and more evil than she could have ever imagined.
