Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards is convinced by The Running Man's charming but ruthless producer to enter the deadly competition game as a last resort. But Ben's defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite — 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.

整體算緊湊還不錯,Glen很有魅力~ 即便有些段落有點莫名其妙
Edgar Wright's touch is nowhere to be found, brilliantly made 110 minutes just to ruin it in the final 10, Good film tho.
Somewhere in this well constructed neon lit futuristic world, there was a much better and far superior film. Unfortunately this is seriously not Edgar wright’s standard. If this had been directed by a rookie, I would have been a bit more lenient. But this was a genre that Edgar knows in and out. What happened to his slick editing, directing, clever humour & technical skills that we saw in some of his other films? Baby Driver comes to my mind immediately when it comes to such genre. This was not even 10% of it technically or in writing or action execution. Just I loved the world as a Sci-fi fan and the first half. Not boring at all but it’s just not Edgar’s level. Disappointed.
A lot in common with The Long Walk but without that movie’s stillness or heart. Each respective film is very representative of the games and world that exists within them. Where The Long Walk has a grim reality and quiet inevitability to it, the Running Man is explosive, fast-paced, and much more hopeful. We see the change that Richard’s sets off here, but we never see the aftermath of The Long Walk. We see the corruption torn out by its roots in The Running Man. But The Long Walk is much more realistic. Most likely, there would be no societal change from the actions of the respective protagonists. Maybe it would even be praised, but the masses would move on in a week and forget all about it. Because nothing ever happens. I enjoyed this movie. It is incredibly entertaining, and Glen Powell is electric. Maybe a little too silky smooth in its visual presentation, but it still has a lot of great shots and moments.
Holy "blepharoplasty" Josh Brolin
