The Running Man

For something that could be considered somewhat dated, it could also be considered ahead of its time. The dystopian premise was clever and straight-forward, but at the same time, the overall plot and journey contained some pretty familiar story beats. Yet, it was cinematic from the get-go with major Hungers Games/Squid Games vibes that did work on surface. But despite a somewhat suprising ending and a bit of decent social commentary sprinkled throughout, this felt a tad boring or run-of-the-mill and also featured a protagonist that didn't always have the most likeable character traits.
