Edgar Wright's The Running Man Misses the Mark

Edgar Wright's new movie, "The Running Man, " is based on a book by Stephen King. It's about a man who joins a deadly game show to save his family. The movie tries to be funny and exciting, but it doesn't do a good job of showing how scary and unfair the game show really is. The main character, Ben, is a dad who needs money for his daughter's medicine. He signs up for "The Running Man, " a game show where people fight for their lives. The show is run by a big, bad company that cheats and lies to keep people watching. But the movie doesn't make you feel the danger or the sadness of the situation. There are some funny moments, like when Ben tricks the hunters who are trying to catch him. But these moments don't make you care about the bigger picture. The movie also tries to make you feel bad for the other contestants, but it's hard to feel sorry for them when they're not shown as real people. The movie also has a problem with its ending. It tries to make you think that Ben wins and becomes a hero, but it doesn't show how he really feels about what he's been through. It's like the movie is afraid to show the dark side of the story. Dystopian stories like this one are supposed to make you think about the bad things in our world. But "The Running Man" doesn't do that. It's more like a regular action movie than a story about a scary future. Other movies, like "The Hunger Games, " do a better job of making you think and keeping you entertained at the same time. The movie also tries to make you feel like you're part of the game show, but it doesn't really make you think about why that's a bad thing. It's like the movie is saying, "This is bad, " but it doesn't make you feel why it's bad.
