Review: ‘Running Man’ Isn’t on Track with Its Predecessor
The film pays homage to Schwarzenegger's original but is criticized for slow pacing that diminishes audience engagement, despite Glen Powell's lead performance.
- Reviewers say The Running Man, new film, repeatedly references Arnold Schwarzenegger, star of the predecessor, but large stretches of the film "slow to a crawl."
- Studio-Backed by Paramount, Ross Ferguson, Paramount Pictures representative, is involved; Josh Brolin's appearance is not confirmed in the source.
- Glen Powell, lead actor, is shown center-stage in coverage, and reviewers say The Running Man is fun for its references despite pacing flaws.
- Critics contrast enjoyable nods to the predecessor with extended, dragging segments, and the mixed tone suggests reviewers see The Running Man, new film, as uneven rather than uniformly successful.
- Balancing homage and execution, the new film blends overt nods to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Running Man with pacing that reviewers find underwhelming despite Paramount Pictures' backing.
