The Running Man

I'm honestly surprised by the negative reception. The runtime may run a little longer than it needs to, but I was thoroughly engaged throughout, and it may be a more restrained Edgar Wright project, but it's still one of the year's best action films. It's unfortunate it flopped too, because the (albeit large) budget was spent brilliantly. From expensive set pieces to showy action sequences to precise visual/sound effects to grand locations, the production and world-building all around were magnificent. The casting hit, the soundtrack hit, the colours hit, the humour hit, the emotion hit, and the messages really hit. To me, it's a hit, and as far as remakes go, this was needed and even exceeded its predecessor.

Wtf was that

Fun watch! I think I enjoyed this one as much as the original, but it’s hard to tell! I really liked the sets and the vibe the world gave off too, very grounded-futuristic!

I also liked the Arnold nod 😂 Was wondering if he’d have a cameo…

I really enjoyed the plane fight too!!

Glenn Powell action movie. Think “Hit Man” but “Fall Guy”
Love the setting and the whole cyberpunk vibe this movie brings, but all in all its Glenn Powell doing an action movie. Not necessarily a bad thing but if you don’t enjoy his acting then you probably wont like the movie

I'm normally very harsh on remakes as I am of the 80s. However I was so relieved that not only was this respectful to the previous material but also took it and made it its own. loved this!

Really good movie
