The Running Man review – Glen Powell sprints through fun update of Stephen King future-shock sci-fi satire
Full-tilt chase sequences, a punk aesthetic and a sugar-rush soundtrack, means there is plenty of enjoyment to be had as Edgar Wright goes back to Kingâs original 1982 novel
Edgar Wright, that unstoppable force for good in cinema, has revived the sci-fi thriller satire last seen in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger; it now stars Glen Powell and is adapted directly from the original 1982 novel written by Stephen King under his âRichard Bachmanâ pen-name, a futurist nightmare set in that impossibly distant year of 2025. The resulting film is never anything but likable and fun â though never actually disturbing in the way that itâs surely supposed to be and the ending is fudged and anticlimactic.
Where was Edgar Wright in the Stephen King adaptation The Running Man?
The director of Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, and Hot Fuzz put none of his signature stamp on this Stephen King adaptation
Edgar Wright has been one of pop culture’s most idiosyncratic voices since the beginning of his feature-film career. He’s a restless joker who leaps from genre to genre, bringing along a visible love of each new pocket of culture he slides his hands into, along with an irreverent sense of parody that helps make those genres feel new again. Audiences go into a Wright movie with no idea what to expect, apart from his signature style elements: aggressively snappy editing, endless winking musical needle-drops, and above all, a sense that Wright wants to interrogate whatever new genre he’s working in (the zombie movie, the police mystery, the body-snatcher movie, etc.), find its limits, and reinvent it in a smarter, sharper form.
