FILMRECENSION. Glen Powell springer för livet i haltande actiondystopin ”The running man”.

Edgar Wrights mest påkostade film hittills saknar lekfullheten som gjorde honom unik.

How far would you go for a billion dollars? In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

Edgar Wright gör sin största film hittills med en nyversion av Stephen Kings dystopi. Resultatet är underhållande action, men mycket av samhällssatiren försvinner på vägen.
