Reviews for “The Running Man” are varied. While Edgar Wright’s updated take on the sci-fi action classic is being applauded for its creative direction, fast pace, and Glen Powell’s performance, some critics feel the movie’s tone and rhythm are inconsistent. Many reviewers appreciate the film’s clever commentary on media and politics.

Reviews of the film are mixed. While many praise the directing and acting, some find the story feels rushed and the overall mood uneven. Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com described the fast pace as exciting, even if it strains believability. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian commented that the film has a unique, vintage-futuristic style, but remains enjoyable and upbeat.
Critics had mixed reactions to the film. Some found it lacking substance – The Hollywood Reporter called it “hollow” – while others praised its intensity and bleakness, with Rolling Stone saying it amplified the “grit and despair” of the original. Empire described it as Wright’s most ambitious work to date, but The Times (UK) suggested it didn’t quite measure up to his earlier, beloved “Cornetto trilogy.”
Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph admired the film’s grand scope, describing it as a thrilling spectacle rather than a purely artistic statement. Brian Truitt from USA Today characterized it as a fun, satirical take on reality TV, complete with plenty of violence and quirky appeal.
