Atom User Reviews for The Running Man
Entertaining and kept the fun going. A little rushed in some spots and long in other others, overall a very enjoyable movie to this Stephen King fan. Any actors would have worked for the main roles, although Brolin was a great choice and they all were fun to watch
another excellent Edgar Wright flick!
It was good action packed nothing special tho definitely a good movie to lie and bed for think of that one Christmas Netflix movie with the tsa agent tryna save the day. That’s basically this movie but more action packed.
This movie is great, and I loved Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a.k.a. The Running Man. I loved the over-the-top action scenes; they were amazing. Everyone in the movie did a great job, such as Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Lee Pace, and Emilia Jones, along with…
Glen Powell is cool
A bit clunky and slightly confusing at times, but highly entertaining throughout the whole movie
Enjoyed the changes in the story as well as the similarities to the original.
The concept of the movie was different than the original. But same the genre good ensemble, but the last 20 minutes of the film it could have been differently. Projected due to unnecessary character inflection.But overall not a bad movie.
Action packed. Story is ok. Glen Powell is sunny Crockett in Miami vice. Hope to see him in the movie with Michael b Jordan.
Crazy good
Not as good as the original or the re-make, but is an okay film as a different take of the story. Some comedic moments, intense/action packed parts and some human moments. to make you root for the hero. Basically a popcorn action film. Not a blockbuster. You can…
TURN IT OFF❗
It was a good movie. Lots of action.
Great movie epic
This was a great movie, Glen Powell was the best person for this role! And the supporting cast was great as well.
Lots of action, loved it
BEST MOVIE EVER
Very fun movie! A lot of action that was serious and engrossing but with moments of levity. Felt very Edgar Wright. It was a little on the nose with some of the dystopian commentary but it never got distracting to me. I’d watch it again and recommend it but I don’t know…
Too much extreme foul language. Some sexual content. The Producers could have made it more or just as action packed without the sexual foul language.
It was ok. dragged on a bit too much.
love this beginning to end
Metacritic
The film’s pacing is stumbling and the longer it goes on, the less urgency we feel in that chase.
The brash message of the film may amount to little more than “smash the system”, but it’s a message that Wright has ignored in a film that sorely lacks for imagination and edge.
The Running Man is such an enjoyable race while you're running it, but once you make it past the finish line and start reflecting on the experience, it leaves too much to be desired.
