The Running Man

2025 · Nov 2025

The strongest parts of the movie are the parts when the running man, you know, runs. Wright, who directed Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz as well as Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, has a good feel for offbeat action... The final act doesn't feel as sharply focused as the rest (which is true of the book, also), but if you like your dystopias with a dose of high octane, you'll probably have a very good time.
