I just cannot get past the escape scene in the theatre tunnels. As soon as the cutscene ends, I literally only have a split-second to start running, but because of these absolutely aggravating camera-dependent controls, I have to press up then immediately press down to switch directions (the character just runs in the opposite direction!), but the character just does not respond quickly enough. I don’t know how to proceed. :-(

I have become thoroughly frustrated at this game. The sluggish controls and invasive camera are difficult to overcome and I cannot say that I enjoy this game much otherwise. The emptiness and unliveliness of the game world as well as the feeling of heaving heard ‘the door is locked’ at least a hundred times makes me feel that this game is just not worth the trouble anymore. Does it get any better?

Press down and Shift key simultaneously when Petra's gun starts to jam (I realized that Petra's weakness is her weapon. Remember when she tried to kill Nico in Vernon's apartment but failed?). Don't bother waiting the cutscene to finish. While running, you need to maneuver George by pressing left and right key. Make sure George doesn't bump to the wall.

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, I have tried this already. I just never get past the first second after the cutscene ends.
Yeah, I got stuck in this part too. Controls are terrible and not suited for the action. In my case George does not respond to turning at all and can make sharp turns only while walking / standing, and having rapidly changing angles and unskippable cutscenes —suuucks — you have to waste, like, two minutes to try again.

I would have said that the only solution is to use controller with sticks, but I somehow managed to overome this issue 20 years ago... -_-. Maybe my keyboard was better back then.

If only it was tank-controls.

It helped me to watch someone play it on youtube and see exactly where I should run towards instead of waiting to see during the game and having to react after the fact. Good luck!
