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.

This movie showed how A.I. can be totally, absolutely, most definitely used against us……and I will tell you. I’m going to do something about it before it gets to that point.

Wtf was that

Easy watch but not wowed

love how this story developed felt like it was 4 hours of suspense

I actually really thoroughly enjoyed this movie it didn’t blow my mind or anything but like the Truth magazine and then people getting behind Richards and basically taking down the “Man” if you will. I love that shit sooo much I wish it could happen today. Overall solid 8.0/10
