Richards Lives!

 

The Running Man (2025)


Directed by Edgar Wright this film based on the novel of the same name stars Glen Powell, Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo. In the near future a man enters a deadly game show to save his family.


You can see how rooted in the 80s this satire is, it fits very much with something like They Live (1988). How well the film works 40 years later I am not sure, it is fine but does not really seem that deep. Lacks a bit of Edgar Wright's usual personality too in my opinion.


3/5
