The Run of the Country is a 1995 American romantic drama film directed by Peter Yates.
Albert Finney stars as a policeman with the Garda Síochána in a small County Cavan village just south of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
His real concern, however, is that his relationship with his 18-year-old son Danny (Matt Keeslar) has been strained since the recent death of his wife from a heart attack during a domestic quarrel.
The movie was mainly filmed on location in Redhills and near Ballyhaise, neighbouring villages in County Cavan.
Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune said, "Peter Yates' best or best-remembered movies...all excel at showing male interaction.
