- Synopsis:
In a near-future society, 'The Running Man' is the top-rated show on television - a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show's charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben's defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favourite - and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall. - Actors:

Garbage - The Running Man review by cr
Easily one of the worst films i have ever seen. Only watched it out of nostalgia for the arnie version which i liked.
This however is awful.
Our hero has a sick child and no money so is forced into a lucrative but deadly game show run by crazy tv media types who we have all seen before.
I am still not sure whether the tone they were going for was humour, irony or satire but it failed on all 3.
Veering from attempted action to soppy sentimentality to cringeworthy jive talk with the black characters that would make huggy bear blush. Its also far too long.
At one point glenn, even though he is being chased by humans and AI decides to take a shower, gets the smallest and thinnest bath towel and strolls around the hotel.
Would you beleive it that he ends up on a window ledge and chucks the towel off!? No me neither.
This lost a load of money at the box office and its easy to see why but oddly and as usual decent reviews from the critics!!
The reason why these films loose money is because they are rubbish. Wake up hollywood!!
Avoid.

Ridiculous, clichéd, boring… - The Running Man review by Alphaville
In a futuristic game show, our clichéd hero, whose only redeeming feature is that he loves his family (yawn), has to avoid being killed by professional assassins-who-can’t-shoot-straight for 30 days. It takes the film half an hour to get to this point. When the month begins, in front of an audience baying for blood (naturally), you’d think he’d just go and hide. Instead he books into a hotel. Do you think the assassins will find him? Do you think any of their bullets will hit him? With action scenes over-edited to shreds, the whole shebang is a mess from start to finish.

Awful, Boring, Trashy Remake of the Decent Watchable 1987 Arnie Movie - The Running Man review by PV
My advice is to rent the original RUNNING MAN with Arnie from 1987, directed by Paul Michel Glaser (Starsky from Starsky and Hutch). Or Death Race 2000, the original too.
I rarely turn off films before the end. They have to be REALLY bad for me to do that (I lasted half an hour with Wonder Woman, so to speak)
BUT I know by the 30 minute mark we'll have had plot point one and so entered the second act - so by then I knew it'd all be more of the same forgettable action-hero dross.
One star, if that. Awful.
