Critics Review

The Running Man presenta a un futuro distópico (que para 1987 el futuro distópico era el 2017 y eso que no vivieron la pandemia) donde un expolicía inocente, interpretado por Arnold Schwarzenegger, debe sobrevivir en un brutal concurso televisivo en el que los concursantes son cazados por asesinos profesionales para entretener a las masas. La película combina acción, sátira y crítica social, reflejando una visión adelantada sobre la manipulación mediática y el entretenimiento violento. Entre sus puntos positivos destacan la energía de Schwarzenegger, las escenas de acción bien coreografiadas y el tono irónico que ridiculiza la cultura del espectáculo. Sin embargo, el guion peca de simplicidad y algunos efectos visuales han envejecido mal, restándole fuerza al mensaje original de la novela. The Running Man es una peli entretenida y emblemática de los ochenta, que mezcla adrenalina y crítica social en partes desiguales, pero sigue siendo un clásico del cine de acción retro.
