Edgar Wright's The Running Man is a near-total failure review
Briefly

Edgar Wright's The Running Man is a near-total failure  review
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Stephen King wrote The Running Man in 1972 when, as he'd later describe, he was a young man who was angry, energetic, and infatuated with the art and the craft of writing. It imagines a reality television show in which the lower classes are violently hunted for entertainment, their narratives re-edited and manipulated in order to villainise those who dare subvert the status quo."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and sends reporters to developing stories. Donors enable ongoing on-the-ground reporting and allow journalists to speak to both sides of issues while keeping content paywall-free. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Stephen King wrote The Running Man in 1972 and set it in 2025, imagining a reality show where lower classes are hunted and villainised for subversion. A contemporary film adaptation starring Glen Powell is being released by Paramount but fails to realize the novel's prescient satire.
