Running Man Rehash

Rating: 5/10 (4 September 2013)

Although in retrospect, Running Man seems cheesy, the basic plot is the same, from the worldwide television audience to the boisterous game show host. The only differences are that here the contestants are teens, they did not commit any crimes and they go after each other. At least the Running Man game show had a purported purpose. In the Hunger Games, it seem s strictly for sadistic entertainment. Essentially, this is a Roman gladiator scenario, but with unskilled teens, some some of them seem able to acquire weaponry talents overnight. Not a whole lot of tension. Everyone knew who was going to win from the start. Basically, it's a one-watch film; nothing to go out and by on blu-ray or DVD.
