What Reelgood users are saying

The reviews highlight that "The Running Man" features a quintessential 80's villain in Professor Sub Zero. The movie diverges significantly from the Stephen King book, offering a different kind of enjoyment. It's described as ridiculous yet amazing, though not comparable to the original novel.

This ain’t the Stephen King book at all. It’s simply ridiculous. And it’s amazing. (A different kind of amazing to the book, but they’re basically not comparable)
