Reviews for The Running Man
The picture fails to please beyond its glossy surface, cheap thrills, and crazed Richard Dawson cameo. Hmm ... maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Richard Dawson's best performance in a film.

The story concept is good, and the film has plenty of fun and campy moments, but it’s also a little goofy.

A brainless, breathless thrill.

The fun of the movie is really in its premise, its cool confrontations between Arny & villains, the cheezy one-liners and Maria Conchita-Alonso in tights!

The licenses taken with King’s original tale only serve to make a more effective movie.

It's not quite Network, but then it also doesn't take itself too seriously.
