Pros: Fast moving action; Performances by Schwarzenegger and others; Concept relevance Cons: Shallow- doesn't examine the future, like it should
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a name for himself in Hollywood as a top box- office draw in action oriented films. Many of his early efforts were mediocre and Schwarzenegger’s acting skill was rather weak. But fans showed up to watch his movies ...
Pros: Fun little action flick that has nothing to do with the book. Cons: Too much reality in my DVD extras
In the near future of 2019, the world is in dire straits. The global economy has collapsed, natural resources have been nearly depleted and food riots are routine. America has turned into a police state, with the government ruling over the citizens with ...
Pros: Fun, original, lots of action, Dawson is a delight to watch. Cons: Predictable.
My wife really loves reality TV. American Idol, Big Brother, and oh yes, Survivor are some of her favorites. The other night, we watched (re-watched for the umpteenth time for me) The Running Man, perhaps the ultimate in reality TV, ...
Pros: Great stunts, Dark, gritty scenery, and great special effects. Cons: it's pretty far removed from the book
Like the recalcitrant flapper valve on my Porcelain Seat of Contemplation and Reflection, I'm back, having had a few personal glitches that kept me from being able to function properly for a while.
Pros: A classic Arnie flick with great one-liners and lots-o-cheeze. Cons: Has the same cookie-cutter script for most his movies.

The movies from the 80’s are just as distinctive as the music was in the era when parachute pants, feathered hair, and MTV were for cool people. On another one of my sleepless nights, I happen to catch this Arnold...
Pros: lots of action propels the plot, comic-book style villains are fun, good story Cons: there is so much of this movie that shouldn't work (but it does)
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I like this movie! After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger will always be himself on the screen. Most of the actors are not spectacular in their roles, and the special effects are comical. Yet the story and ...
When The Running Man came out in the 80's, I'm sure it was just a run-of-the-mill Schwarzenegger film. Many may still look at it like that. I however believe it to be a scathing satire on the entertainment world in 2001.
Most movies about the future tend to go one of two ways. You have some movies that see us as some utopian society where everyone is happy and everything is perfect, at least for the majority of people. The other way is where no one is happy and nothing ...
Pros: Arnold's strong acting, and it's a good concept. Cons: The plot, the other actors, almost everything.
I rented this movie based on the enjoyment I felt when reading the novel by the same name. I read the movie was based on the novel written by Stephen King (under the alias Richard Bachman). After seeing, I wonder if the writers even read the book. ...
Pros: action, Arnold is ok Cons: If you read the book, it was a rip off
This is part one of a two part write off entitled Loved The Book/ Hated The Movie. It is hosted by KateTPZ. The other writers involved are: Blackelve, ChrisJarmick, dandj, j3nny3lf, Jennifer gibbons, jiastar, KateTPZ, Kay67, pantazis5, redsox75,...
Pros: Good performances by Schwarzenegger and Dawson, Exciting action sequences Cons: The plot itself is nothing we haven't seen before.
Today it seems like TV producers and network execs will do anything for big bucks. As shows like Fear Factor and Temptation Island become popular, many people claim that our moral standards have become eroded.
Pros: Great fun,great action scenes,brilliant villains Cons: not all that original,special effects a bit dated
The Running Man has always been one of my favourite Arnie movies; it is based on (but how much it follows I don’t know) a Stephen King Novel. The plot is set in a future America where the country has no free speech and music and most ...
Pros: Interesting story, Based on a Stephen King book Cons: Pretty gruesome, Plot is not in-depth

Pros: strong plot elements (for scifi fans), bold villans, emotional scenes Cons: several weak script elements generally makes this a one time view for many, a fast forward past certain parts for scifi fans...
This movie is a oddity of sorts. I place a good four stars in the movie. First of all this is a GOOD Arnold Schwarzenegger film, which places it amongst a select class. Secondly, it is the pure acting (in contradiction to the other reviews), in this...
Pros: Awesome action sequences, a good story, some classic one-liners Cons: The script is awful if you think about it for awhile, but don't! It will ruin the experience for you.
I'll try to be unbiased in this opinion, but frankly this one of my five favorite movies of all time, and a movie I could watch, literally, an infinite number of times without getting bored of it.
The year is 2019 and television is ruling people s lives. The most popular game show is The Running Man, where convicts can win pardons by defeating m...More at Buy.com
