Amazon Prime Video’s Man On The Run Review: Well, Now I Appreciate Paul McCartney’s Meandering And Obscure Post-Beatles Era

Paul McCartney in 1973 looking through a mirror (from Man on the Run documentary) .

Being the huge music fan that I am, I’m always seeking out music documentaries so that I can learn more about the greats of our time and yesteryear. I’ve seen quite a few Beatles documentaries and movies over the years, which never fail to interest me – particularly Peter Jackson’s Get Back doc from 2021. So, when I heard about Morgan Neville’s Man On The Run, I was immediately ready to hit play. While the account tracks perhaps the least noisy, rock ‘n’ roll moment in the musical career of Paul McCartney, I think it’s absolutely worth a watch for any one with the curiosity to do so.
