The Running Man (1987)
1987 wasn’t a bad year for science fiction action flicks, with both Predator and Robocop and this is far from those, but still somewhat entertaining for its 80s campyness. It is still relevant in this day and age, with its core message about fake news and controlling the media. It also comes a bit short, as even for 80s action flick standards the acting is really pretty bad. Arnold has definitely been better. The attempt at oneliners rarely lands, and man do they love their tunnel effect shots. But I will always have fun with an Arnold film to make it worthwhile.
