It is rare that we get a fun new action movie in cinemas and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man gives that rush of a good old fashion action film to us and so much more. Based on the novel by Stephen King, Wright and co-writer Michael Bacall made magic with this adaptation.
Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards, a man who has been put on the blacklist by the corporation who runs everything and is struggling to take care of his family. When his daughter Cathy gets sick, he promises his wife, Sheila (Jayme Lawson), that he’ll take any other game show on The Network except for “The Running Man.” The rest is history.
