# The Running Man (2025)

Nov 13, 2025 | Rated 2 out of 5 | Dir. Edgar Wright

Edgar tried waaaay too hard to sell that Glen Powellis the “angriest person in the  world” and I never bought it.

It was also way too long. However, Michael Cera was an incredible shot of juice and I wanted a whole home home alone style movie with just him dispatching goons.
