Running Man

Running Man is about a game show, where convicts run for their lives.  This twisted tale takes you into the game.  Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in this sick adventure.

I watch this movie when I get into a mood.  Sometimes watching people cheer on murder is entertaining.  This movie makes you think.  

We watch shows like American Gladiator, Wipe out and Survivor, to watch how people deal with difficult situations.  Shows like Wipe Out have humor built in, but the contestants should not be laughed at when they get hurt.  I have watched those shows too, so I am really not a good person to judge the social problem of them. 

Running Man takes those shows to the extreme.  In the movie, the show is the entertainment, the murder in the movie is the entertainment.  I feel a bit icky after watching this stuff.  

Running Man is a good movie, because it makes these entertainment issues come to light.
