Moviegoers are saying
Edgar Wright delivers another stylish action spectacle with this Stephen King adaptation starring Glen Powell as 'The Running Man,' featuring an ensemble cast including Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, and Michael Cera. While audiences praise the over-the-top action sequences and Wright's signature comedic touches, many note pacing issues and find it doesn't quite match the original's impact, though Powell's charismatic performance and the film's blend of intense action with hilarious moments make it an entertaining popcorn thriller.

Every bad thing people are saying about this is true, the script is wack, the editing is wack, and Edgar Wright is nowhere to be found (not that I was expecting a great return to form which probably helped my experience) (however there is a split diopter shot),…

incredibly fun and by a mile the MOST someone has used glen powell, which is great to see. pretty unfortunate 3rd act on this one. also it’s 2025, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a black screen with just the word “goon” on it
KarstenNov 10, 2025Fun enough but what happened to the Edgar Wright sauce

vivdagoat 🍎🍂🐞Nov 10, 2025Not enough people are talking about Glen Powell’s excellent running technique here that (importantly) is not an imitation of the Cruise run but its own unique thing that said…could’ve used more running

been waiting for this movie for monthsssss and the wait was worth it. so entertaining from beginning to end, the action was good but definitely could’ve been dialed up a bit more. glen was phenomenal, anger acting was on point. lee in this was sooo 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️. wish i hadn’t seen the…
Chairs likedThe Running ManIt was a fun watch but I wouldn’t call it great. Definitely really fun tho especially with friends. I would survive
Noah likedThe Running ManFun 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!!

Definitely entertaining, with Glen Powell crushing it as always and fast paced action to keep you invested. Unfortunately, its plot veered into pretty overt messaging in the 3rd act. Overall I enjoyed it but it didn’t quite live up to my hype for it
Alex is "meh" onThe Running ManUnfortunately this one did not live up to the original. Glen Powell did everything he could to carry this movie but the story was so shallow, it didn’t help. Way too long, too many plot holes, and uninteresting characters. 5.5/10
Cam lovedThe Running ManThis 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.

“Running Man” delivers pure adrenaline—non-stop chases, slick choreography, and tension that never lets up. It’s raw, chaotic, and wildly entertaining. The energy hits like a punch, and the pacing keeps you locked in from start to finish. A must-watch thrill ride.
Joeybagadonutz lovedThe Running ManReally fun and had a great time. Glenn Powell was awesome and Michael Cera was hilarious. I almost wish he was in it more. Can’t wait for more with Edgar wright
Anthony Dowling is "meh" onThe Running ManMessy third act. Weird tonal shifts. Didn’t feel like an Edgar wright movie as much as a movie with some Edgar wright shots in it.

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

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.
