Despite being almost entirely inept, this is a load of fun. The script Is terrible, there are some bizarre casting decisions, and it all feels like a cheapo TV movie. It works as an assembly of action scenes punctuated with laughably corny one-liners, and while its vision of the future isn't exactly accurate, there are a few moments of prescience. Richard Dawson was enjoyably slimy, and Arnold brought his usual flair. Not Arnie's best, but good for a laugh.

Right up there with Commando when it comes to epic one-liners. Faithfully portrays the threat abdominous opera singers bedecked with Christmas lights pose to society, while at the same time giving plain, white briefs a bad name.

Saw this in a packed cinema as a part of Arnie's birthday series with slightly drunken & disorderly crowd which is definitely the way to see it. The satire is so blunt & dumb it only works with a few small jokes. The writing is barely acceptable like the action but Schwarzenegger is fine in making it enjoyable. Tonally 80's but lacks the bite & wit of something like Verhoeven. Still this wasn't too boring or without stupid charm & worked well as a warm up to Total Recall which is still a blast.

As an Arnold Schwarzenegger action vehicle of the 1980s, you get what you expect: One-liners, memorable kills, the Austrian Oak fighting the English language, hedonistic violence/language that loved the R-rating, you name it....and for that, it works as a solid B-action churner. AMERICAN GLADIATORS would still be on TV today if those steroid-stalkers actually could kill the contestants.

Everything about this film is completely ridiculous right down to the over the top acting, the premise, as well as the costumes involved. It works as a piece of media satire though. This is also Arnold in his 80's prime kicking ass and shoveling out one liners that were actually pretty funny then.

Or rather The Punning Man! A film containing probably 30% or 40% of Arnie's greatest one liners was always going to be class. Everything about this movie is super. The quilted Runner suits, Dynamos Lego & Mechano car, the use of the words 'uplink', 'relay' and 'interface' in every sentence, Killians explosive final scene, and each new exciting death (again Dynamo wins for meeting his maker mid-rape!). Aside from that it's one of the most homoerotic films ever made! Eat yer heart out Top Gun!

Schwarzenegger and Alonso make for the perfect couple: two masters of incorrect line delivery at the top of their game! Between the silly one-liners, the 'roided up badguys, and the comically on-the-nose satire, the whole film feels like a masterwork of cheese.

Classic Arnold. Something creepy about how it's somewhat turning true w/r/t reality TV. Arnold with a beard. Great yellow uniform. I even want a World Gym shirt. However, I was disappointed that the movie took a turn away from a fugitive plot into basically an arena. Unremarkable female lead. Fav scene: going through the rocket slide tube.

The dystopian setting and the themes of Stephen King's novel are certainly interesting and hold one's attention. On the other hand, the performances by Schwarzenegger and Alonso are really bad, and the cheesiness of the one-liners and certain shots is almost too much even for an '80s film - not to mention that '80 haircuts seem to still be all the rage in an otherwise futuristic society. All in all, it's a fun movie, yet a subtler, more sophisticated approach would have yielded better results.

T.R.M is a cheesy dystopian sci-fi that doesn't really nail all of its satiric targets, but it's a tremendously guilty pleasure. Glaser's direction is nothing to write home about, but he stages a few good scenes, and its bleak vision of the future, while clearly suffering from budgetary constraints, is memorably depicted. Arnie has many priceless one liners, and the villains are charismatic and colourful. Dawson as the sleazy game show host Killian was also a brilliant piece of casting.

Extremely cheesy 80s sci-fi action for the teenage boy in all of us. Contains creative ideas and flamboyant costumes, sets and characters; and Arnie is convincing as the madcap muscle guy as always. Echoes of Total Recall, Robocop and Max Max 3, but this film lacks a lot of polish compared to those contemporaries. It has the feel of being thrown together far too fast and with poor attention to detail in camera and editing terms. A loud, orange mess which needed to be more tense and scary.

For the premise this rolls with it has some of the most boring setpieces imaginable. They could have done so many cool things with its game show premise but the most they ever come up with is big open spaces featuring villains dressed up in goofy outfits. Maybe that'd be forgivable if the action wasn't so goddamn boring. However, what I WILL grant this is that Arnold has a lot of funny one-liners and there is a lot of amusing mise en scene so it's very watchable despite being not good?

Better or at least funnier than Gamer, Schwarzenegger running around in a tight, yellow Adidas jumpsuit - but since Gamer sucks big time that doesn't mean it's masterpiece. It's funny how in the end everyone cheers just the same, it's just entertainment broadcast on TV, how Schwarezenegger deals with Killian is no different for them how Killian dealt with him.

Arnie dismantles this paint-by-numbers dystopia one-liner at a time until all that's left is the neon glow of its stubbornly 80's future world. It resembles Verhoeven's sci-fi social satires but without either the edge or charm that makes those work so well, and ends up a shallow exercise in revolution fantasy that's only rewatchable for its wild aesthetic nostalgia.

WELL, THAT HIT THE SPOT. Greatest collection of one-liners ever shot. Schwarza has such a good timing for comedy that this is miles away from the disturbing zones it should've taped. Which is kind of a good thing given how Glaser is unable to direct this -- it's cheesy reality TV posing as cinema instead of the opposite. Still, much more fun than what we got recently with the oh-so-serious Hunger Games franchise. Would've been a masterpiece if directed by Verhoeven.

The creators have run wild with their creative freedom here, with the plot deviating massively from the novel - generally for the worse. We get a generic 80s flick with all the expected lush and extravagant costumes and visuals. The anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian and anti-TV/media tropes from the novel are here, but lessened in their level of criticism of the world. Albeit one would argue that the novel's message is more relevant than ever in the 2023 realities. King's novel is better.

The Running Man would be a great addition to a 80's time capsule. It is over-the-top in all of the ways a great 80's movie should be. The story is stupid with just enough of a message to give the audience something to think about and possibly a much deeper message upon repeated viewings. The Running Man is meant for repeated viewings because it is just so much fun. Richard Dawson is such a great villain in this movie. There are a lot of fun cameos that keep things light. It's just a fun movie.

Interesting premise, but when it comes to stories about individuals versus an oppressive organization, it is generally best to make the climax a personal victory (for example, Robocop). Here, we got some revolution we are barely introduced to and don't really care about tacked on. That and other poor story decisions lead to this failing to reach the height of many of its late 80s/early 90s dystopic brethren. Arnold has a few good lines, though.

This is such an 80's cheesefast and that's the best thing about it. Arnold's one-liners, the year 2017 where everything actually still looks like the 80's from hair and clothes to vehicles and computer screens, the cheesy TV villain, all of it. It's not boring at any point and I know I love all the parts with Arnold going EUUUGH or AUAAHGHAAH. Also, that girl had a voice-activated toaster and a coffee maker but no way to call the police via a voice-activated computer? Priorities!

A very fun sci-fi concept to observe. It lays on the social satire so thick and creamy, but it offsets that by how cheesy and self-aware funny this is. Somewhat not to be taken seriously, yet also seriously enjoyable, this is an extreme parable of what could be -- I can't wait for the remake that's completely devoid of all humour, adventure, and bad-ass '80s lighting.

Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, Arnold Schwarzenegger is forced to run the gauntlet of murderous showbiz professionals on a hit game show. It's a dystopian future where TV is the opium of the people, there's a desperate rebel underground and a plucky love interest, skintight lycra and big hair, chainsaws and explosions, and more second-rate Arnie one-liners than in all his other films put together. It's the quintessential Eighties science fiction B-movie.

Alternate title: One-Liner Man. This movie has the best one-liners next to Arnold in Batman & Robin. I think they could of fit even more into this film, but that's just me being greedy. This was the first time I've seen this film and I really liked it.

A great little sci-fi movie that is a mix of a Dr. Strangelove-esque satire of a future police state, and a survival movie in which 'Arnold' tries to stay alive in a sadistic game show where he must fight an endless array of 'stalkers' to try and stay alive and win his freedom. Many parallels exist between this and "The Hunger Games", and it was based on a Stephen King book. It has aged much better than several other 80s action films mainly because its predictions about TV came true.

Pure 80s cheese, the film never tries to reach any deeper with the violence on TV/violence in real life idea, which may be for the best. The Running Man is essentially 90 minutes of Schwarenegger running around killing people before making the requisite quip, his enemies even have gimmicks to aid the puns. The characters are paper thin and the plot rumbles along exactly as you'd guess after watching the trailer. There's plenty of inoffensive enjoyment to be had here though.

Pure cheese, but fun cheese. Bonus points for heavily inspiring the arcade classic Smash TV.

The Running Man was one of my first memories of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Surely it can't of been the first Schwarzenegger film I ever saw due to the certificate, but I definitely vaguely remember seeing bits of this film at a very young age. And not only did I love what I saw but I instantly loved Arnold. This film hasn't aged particularly well but it's a classic and I still thoroughly enjoy watching it. It's hilariously corny but for action, violence and one liners it's prime Arnold.

Ahead of its time. Unfortunately, reality tv isn't good to begin with.

Absolutely deserves its reputation as a classic of 80's action crapola. Arnold is just mailing it in at this point, but isn't why we love him? (No one is under any obligation to answer that question.)

really terrible adaptation. the idea was totally different, acting was poor and... they made it a love story! although it was funny to see how they imagined the future would look like.

Even though this movie is about the politics of television, there is still not much to point toward in order to claim this is a good film.

So many good one liners the action is cheesy but fun... a classic 80s action movie.

Steven E. de Souza's name appeared in the opening credits and my eyebrow cocked. It didn't take long to notice his work. This is actually not a terrible script, but rather a case where Arnold is so miscast that he zaps life out of the film every time he opens his yap. This would've been better in the hands of someone like Bruce Willis -- someone who can actually deliver streetwise sass. After a while, this just becomes boring. Arnold is pretty much indestructible for no good reason.

It's not bad if you don't expect too much. Schwarzenegger's acting is pretty much delivering one liners, but the action isn't bad. It's weird seeing Dawson in this. All the stalkers were decent except for the opera guy.
