Entertainment Reviews:
Schwarzenegger sadistically dispatches the baddies, enunciating typical wisecrack remarks (many repeated from his previous films), but it's all too easy.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The movie's problem is that all of the action scenes are versions of the same scenario.

Chicago Sun-Times
It is a rare movie. It was thirty years ago and still today it looks like one of the most 'Martian' films of the golden age of Schwarzenegger. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Running Man remains as much fun to watch as it was back in 1987 and thanks to a perceived drop in social standards it is more relevant now than it has ever been.

Flickering Myth
Pretty warmed-over stuff, this future world of the terminal TV game shows, and director Glaser fails to muster much pace and punch.

...Raffish....Dawson steals the movie...
New York Times
However far away from the book's original vision the movie may stray, it ends up right in Arnold's wheelhouse, letting him dispatch a series of worthy rivals with aplomb.
