      Working the audience, milking the laughs and the tears, he is not really much different than most genuine game show hosts and thats the movies private joke. ( Read More )
    • JoBlo

      Anyway, overall I would say that this film did entertain me still, but not as much as I remembered it doing in the days.But it was still a pretty fun ride and I would recommend anyone who hasnt seen it, watch it just to see what the real Arny was like in his salad days. ( Read More )
    • Felix Vasquez Jr.

      The Running Man is filled with fantastic action and great set pieces, as well as a dark sense of humor. ( Read More )
    • Desson Thomson

      The Running Man (R) By Desson Howe Washington Post Staff Writer November 20, 1987 Is it enough to stuff Arnold Schwarzenegger into a zip up monkey suit, surrounding him with light show effects, smoke and pounding music, and have futuristic bruisers chase him with chainsaws, stilletto hockey sticks and laser weapons.No. ( Read More )
    • James O'Ehley

      Worse, the movie lacks any real tension and seems to be a host of fight scenes hastily added together. ( Read More )
