The Running Man

CriticsCritics: 59
AudienceAudience: 6.5

A desperate working-class father enters a deadly televised competition to afford medication for his sick daughter. Hunted across the country while millions watch, he relies on grit and quick thinking to survive a game designed to turn his struggle into mass entertainment.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like tense survival stories, brisk action, and dystopian settings, but Not for you if you want a consistently deep story, subtle social commentary, or a satisfying conclusion.
