If you want to see the worst Arnold movie, don't look further. I haven't read the book but the movie is really pathetic. There are a few good one-liners by the character played by Arnold but they aren't good enough. Th whole fight sequences that happen during the The Running Man show lacks coherence. The stalkers just keep popping up from here and there while Arnold looks like he is getting a jogging practice. Everyone acts pathetically and so is the direction. Since the book is by Stephen King, I expect it to be of a decent standard and my guess is that the movie makers messed it up. You also can't put the blame on the era, there are lots of other movies that are beautifully made during the late 80's like Predator. This one is just a shame!
