Running Man

This was kind of dumb. This was kind of blah. I’m not sure why. It lacked the Edgar Wright-iness of Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, or Baby Driver. Certain plot developments make NO sense. I’m not being nitpicky. Like, seriously, they have absolutely NO inner logic. There are brief moments that dip a toe into Stephen King’s satire of pop culture in an interesting way, but they’re overshadowed and overpowered by the attempts at a visual effects extravaganza, which mostly fall flat. Is it terrible? No. But it’s not really sparkly and fun either. Like a participation trophy in movie form. You showed up, Running Man. Gold star for effort.
