Title: For the idea of this story read the book
Product review: This movie is a typical Arnold 80's flick. Bad acting, loads of action, and God awful one-liners that you have to crack a smile at. This film does do a major injustice to the story that was original written by Rich Bachman/Stephen King. The book was far more a better story to be told. Ben Richards was no wrongly convicted criminal but a desperate man trying to save his family, a sick and dying child and a wife who sells who body so the family can have money. The story goes way more into the corruption of the government and Ben Richards adventure is breathtaking while Arnold's Ben is just boring and predictable. If you are interested in this idea for a story don't waste time with the film, it shouldn't even use the same title as the book because they are only two things that both have. A main character named Ben Richards and a corrupt government controlled gameshow that kills the contestants. Read the book, skip the movie.
