Title: A lot of fun.
Product review: Yes, this movie follows all the cliches of 80's action films. But, how many of those 80's action were as fun and funny as The Running Man? This is one of my favorite Arnie movies, after the Terminator films. If you have read the Stephen King book but have not seen this movie and are planning too, I have one suggestion:forget the book. The movie has a higher entertainment value. When Arnie gets his revenge on the host of the show, you will feel like laughing and standing up and cheering. Jesse Ventura's appearance is absolutely hilarious and has an extremely high 'I don't blame for being angry one bit' factor. When you see the movie you will understand what I mean. Maria Conchita Alonso's character is also extremely likable. And Arnie is surprisingly fantastic.
