影評：
- 雅尼斯尼沃納的代表作包括奇幻影集系列《Timeless》（Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue及Emerald Green），也主演電視影集《Beat》，這次在《逐夢格鬥賽》詮釋完全不同的角色，也是全片的重心，他以精湛的演技，傳達了Andi如何掩飾自己的痛苦和憤怒以度過難關。
- 雅尼斯尼沃納就是片中的重量級人物。銀幕日報
ynopsis
Kids Run tells the story of a former boxer Andi Jovanovic – a formidably strong character being tested to the core as he attempts to keep custody of his three children and provide for them while struggling as a day labourer. Threatened with eviction, Andi turns to his ex-girlfriend Sonja – the mother of his youngest child Fiou and the true love of his life. But after Andi loses his job, Sonja insists he must return the money, or she will stop him seeing Fiou. Andi hopes his problems will be solved if he can win an amateur boxing competition with a monetary prize to pay off the debt and prove himself worthy of reconciliation with Sonja and Fiou.

Reviews:
- Worlds away from his role in the Timeless fantasy series (aka Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green), and in a more conflicted mode than his lead turn in TV series Beat, Niewöhner is Kids Run’s compelling core, expertly conveying the pain and anguish that Andi keeps trying to bury to get by.
Niewohner is the film’s physically expressive heavyweight.- Screen Daily
