i read the run man from king book a bachman and i felt for the main character john and his family . this movie could have be so much more . the trouble . it be set during the big action movie craze . i watch the movie and be in pain during the whole thing . i felt nothing for the character and less for his cause . yes it have funny scene ( or laughable ) though i think that it do not save the movie in my eye . if you read the book you can feel the climax and the fire in the heart of john a he get his final revenge . i give this movie a low number . it may not have be this low if i have not read the book .
