The Running Man Movie Review From director Edgar Wright comes The Running Man, the 2025 adaptation of the classic novel by Stephen King (under his Richard Bachman pen name). Set in a dystopian near-future, the film stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a man forced into a deadly televised game where survival is everything. In this review, I’ll highlight what works best (Wright’s direction, Powell’s performance, the dystopian world-building), where the film could have pushed harder, and why this remake might be the one that finally does justice to the original concept.👉 Don’t forget to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE for more reviews, and drop a comment below:Did The Running Man hit its mark for you — or did the originals still hold the edge?
