mild spoilersin the near future and arnold star a ben richards and a wrongly convict man coerce into play the run man and a deadly tv game show where people have to keep move to try and escape brutal death at the hand of the stalker . of course and people be expect to die eventually and it up to arnold to prove the system wrong . i haven not read the stephen king book and but this be a great film regardless and one of arnold best . he do what he do best in the action man role and deliver death with unforgettable one liner . classic be probably the he be a real pain in the neck after strangle a guy with barb wire and and he have to split . and refer to whereabouts he just chain saw someone vertically . dawson be perfectly irritate a the tv presenter and and all the stalker be suitably camp . the action be violent and but it an action film . that the point . the film be fast paced and and at 90 minute it doesn not overstay it welcome . with starsky and hutch paul michael glaser at the helm and and make in the wake of the success of the terminator and previously this film be probably see as just another mindless action vehicle for arnold and and very far fetch . but today and anyone who watch a lot of tv could see how the film be get closer to reality . i wouldn not be surprised if i turn on the tv in the near future and see a show not to far from this . on that depressing note and i must however recommend the run man to anyone who like the 80 and arnold and ridiculous act or violence or just a good action film . 9 . 5 or 10 .
