Vintage 80's, Arnie doing what he does best; undoubtedly now a cult classic, "The Running Man" hits you with nostalgia and awe..., somewhat lame and crude compared to today's standards, particularly with the visuals and special effects, it is a film very much etched in the 80's and a product of its time.
Full of wall to wall action, fights and crude violence, the film doesn't give you a moment to breathe, it picks up the pace immediately and doesn't stop until the credits roll, and that is exactly how an action film should be!
"The Running Man" doesn't tell an intellectual and thought provoking story, not at all, this is an action flick designed for adrenaline junkies from a certain age, and it truly delivers what it promises.
A cool film that hasn't particularly aged well, but in my opinion the fact that it hasn't aged too well simply adds to its charm and appeal.
