056 - The Running Man (2025), Dir. Edgar Wright

From Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987 to Glenn Powell in 2025- we get to revisit the Steven King story- The Running Man.  It's a look at a dystopian future where government control has everyone squeezed to the breaking point and one man is forced to risk life and limb to get money to help his sick daughter.  

Does that sound hokey?  It should.  The Running Man (2025) succeeds in being a visual upgrade but doesn't use the means to fully tell that story.  Handsome Glenn is a huge plus though.  If you get to see this on IMAX, you won't regret it.
