i be a big fan of stephen king . i love the run man . so obviously i be very excited that someone have make a film of it . and when a local network show the film and i be in heaven . i be all ready for a night of fun . the first indicator that something be wrong be when i notice that someone have cast arnold schwarzenegger . i could simply not believe that a man who get famous for film fill with runnin an shootin could play a more cunning part and a be describe in the book . i still be convince that this would be a good film and however . who know and maybe arnold have some hidden talent . well and he do not . i soon find out that the only reason he be even cast be because someone have re write the entire story to make it about fightin an shootin . yup and it be a standard arnold film represent hero be do wrong and hero solves problem by flex his mighty muscle and scar everyone away and hero get the girl . i be stun . this be not what the book say at all . i know that book can not be put on screen literally and but this do not even have tie to the book . stephen king should have openly denounce any affiliation with the film and he should have forbid use the title the running man for this shameless waste of film . i do not say it often and but this film be bad . if i weren not at home watching and i would have toss rotten tomato at the screen . once again represent bad . ( note that i use omeone a lot . i do this because i be sure a lot of people be ashamed to have work on this and i do not want to embarrass them even far by name them here ) .
