The Running Man
An unjustly accused prisoner in 2019 is given a slim chance at freedom if he survives a public execution gauntlet staged as the television game show 'The Running Man'.

Pretty warmed-over stuff, this future world of the terminal TV game shows, and director Glaser fails to muster much pace and punch.

It's an arcade-game romp done with flair.

It's not quite Network, but then it also doesn't take itself too seriously.

Holds up a shocking reflection of where we actually stand as a society in 2017.
