The legacy media is predictably horrified by the new Daily Wire movie “Run Hide Fight: Infidels,” calling it “deranged” and “Islamophobic drivel.”
These types of reviews are precisely what makes it worth seeing.
As usual, the creators are being criticized for telling the truth that’s obvious to everyone but Hollywood refuses to accept. While they fawn over narratives pushing white men as the villains, “Infidels” exposes the true threat to Western civilization: radical Islam.

A reviewer from Variety insists that the film is “unworthy of its outrage,” dubbing it an “Islamophobic promotional campaign.”
“Rather than making a satirical point about liberal overreach, the movie argues that all this empathy for other people — including for the Indigenous tribes whose land was seized on behalf of the school, or Palestinians trying to hold onto theirs — is a purely oppressive force,” the review goes on. “Are you contemptuous of radical leftists who believe that others should be treated with decency, care and respect? If so, this is the film for you.”
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro posted a portion of the review, prompting followers to express how the reaction to the film was making them more excited about the movie’s premiere on Wednesday.
“Stop, I’m already [planning] on watching it, you don’t have to convince me,” one person said.
Far-Left outlet Slate begrudgingly complimented the film by calling it “Die Hard-ish” in terms of action sequences. The reviewer also pointed out that no terrorist event like the one in “Infidels” has occurred on a college campus, implying that the plot is extreme for suggesting it could. Who could ever imagine a violent terrorist attack by a radical islamist in the United States, right?
“There’s a feeling of evil glee to the carnage wrought in ‘Infidels’ that goes beyond anything you see in the first ‘Run Hide Fight,’ and beyond anything that happens in, say, a Taylor Sheridan show,” the Slate reviewer observed, concluding that the movie was ultimately “deranged.”
The Guardian blasted “Infidels” for its “brazen political incorrectness” and claimed the “film’s ‘bad Muslim’ conceit” was a “dated” concept.
Shapiro responded to that review, posting on X, “What they find disturbing, by the way, is that we depict ISIS doing ISIS things. This is unacceptable. ISIS must never be portrayed doing ISIS things. They must instead be portrayed as victims of Western imperialism.”
A reviewer from Movie Nation also complained about the film, calling it, “a whole lot of hate packed into its 120 or so minutes of clumsy, lurching running time.” YouTube reviewer “Rama’s Screen” said it was a “torture session” just like it’s predecessor and insisted Shapiro wants “everyone to hate” all Muslims.
“The right wing propaganda is so on the nose,” he complained. “It’s not enough for the film to demonize Muslims. It also needs to validate and rationalize open carry and toxic masculinity.”
Rama took issue with the portrayal of Muslims especially, saying, “They don’t care about the fact that wearing a hijab is a personal choice, and that there are millions of moderate female Muslims out there who don’t wear any head scarves at all. The whole film is a heavy-handed, cartoonish, tone deaf political commentary.”
Everything above is both the reason the Daily Wire made the film and why you should run to watch it.
Those not carrying water for the radical Left had very different reactions to the film. Reviewer Christian Toto gave it solid marks, writing, “‘Infidels’ has little interest in subtlety. It’s a bare-knuckled assault on a Hollywood ecosystem that ignores reality and the Modern Left. ‘Infidels’ reminds us of all the stories that should be told but aren’t.”
“It’s like ‘Citizen Vigilante,’ but with far more skill, humor and self-awareness,” he added.
The review site Film Threat also had positive things to say about the film. “It was a visceral experience watching this film. Rankin’s screenplay weaves in satire, romance, and explosive action in a tight package. All these tonal elements easily flow together,” the reviewer said.
“It is the right amount of high-stakes melodrama and light comedy, which evokes classical Hollywood filmmaking,” the review continued. “The stunt work, pyrotechnics, practical effects, and marksmanship are beautifully done. Action scenes never feel redundant, and the brutality from our disgusting antagonists is appropriately shocking without going into exploitation territory.”
The reviewer also notes the timeliness of the topic, concluding that it’s on par with Daily Wire hits including Matt Walsh’s documentaries “What is a Woman?” and “Am I Racist?”
“‘Infidels’ is an exhilarating blockbuster that will bring out the fighting American spirit this fall,” the review concludes.
“Run Hide Fight: Infidels” is currently streaming on The Daily Wire.
