The Running Man 2025 1080p WEB-DL DDP5.1 x264
A great popcorn movie. Not done in a particularly skillful way, but it's just good old fashion entertainment. The cast was great, Glen Powell did a nice job. I'm coming around to him, he always delivers even if he isn't a-class. The world felt quite two-dimensional. It was on the precipice of making an interesting point but settled in pretty elementary commentary. However, I think it's okay in this instance as it keeps the movie feeling like a low-investment, simple watch. The humour either landed a big laugh or a disappointing cringe. Overall the jokes felt a bit forced, like a mildly funny person desperate to be perceived as the 'funny friend'. Thankfully, Powell's delivery helped elevate. The same goes for the story, which again, was simple and entertaining but completely loses steam in the final act delivering a very average clunker of an ending that was generic and unsatisfying. Still worth a watch though, but no reason to see it on the big screen.
