This movie is a poor man's..

This movie has no reason or excuse to exist, really. It simply takes a couple of better movies and simplifies them, until there's almost nothing left.

There's no point in this, when you have Total Recall and Robocop.

Anyone that says they aren't satisfied by watching Total Recall and Robocop (the originals, of course), and NEED to also add this movie into the mix, is out of their mind.

What does this movie offer that Robocop and Total Recall don't? Those two movies have every single element you could want from this movie, and this movie doesn't add anything useful, meaningful, interesting, thought-provoking, new, or storywise good to it. It just rips them off.

This is like a poor man's Total Recall + Robocop-combination.

RTR have better action, better acting performances, better actors, more detailed and believable worlds, more intricate, well thought-out and interesting plots, just as dystopic stories, but better..

.. if you want Arnold, Total Recall should satisfy you. If you want otherworldly quality, Total Recall again. If you want a futuristic, high-tech dystopia world, Robocop serves you well. Basically anything this movie offers, is offered by one or both of those movies much better.

This movie has no reason to exist, when those two, much better movies already exist. The Running Man is just a 'passable filler' at best, and 'seen it already'-type bore-fest at worst.

I wouldn't say it's a bad movie per se, it's just like.. why would anyone watch THIS, if they can choose to watch Total Recall and Robocop?

To see Arnold perform new one-liners? That may be the only reason.

What a useless movie. If the story had been better, this might be more interesting, but everything that could be interesting about this movie, has been shown to us already in better form, even Arnold (which isn't that interesting a thing anyway, just a bad-acting bodybuilder).
