The Running Man (2025) Movie Review: Glen Powell’s EPIC New Stephen King Adaptation – NO REMAKE!

by 11.14.2025

Is The Running Man (2025) the action thriller we’ve been waiting for? Glen Powell absolutely SHINES in this bold, fresh adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian classic – and NO, it’s NOT a remake of the 1987 Schwarzenegger flick!
In this spoiler-free review, we break down:
✅ Why Glen Powell is the perfect Ben Richards
✅ How Edgar Wright’s direction honors the book while feeling totally new
✅ The jaw-dropping game show sequences & social satire that hit harder than ever
✅ Is it better than the original novel? (Hot take incoming )
Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, Israel Adesanya, Katy O’Brian, and more – this is the high-octane, heart-pounding sci-fi action movie 2025 needed!
