Movie Review: Time has outrun this 'Running Man'

It’s always interesting when time overtakes the dystopias of the past. In Stephen King’s 1982 novel “The Running Man,” the United States has fallen into a totalitarian state divided between haves and have-nots. All movements can be surveilled and realistic video propaganda is easily generated. King’s book was set in the year 2025. Edgar Wright’s new big-screen adaptation is fittingly but awkwardly timed. Arriving in the year of King’s imagined dystopia, its near-future has little in it that isn’t already plausible today. That makes this “Running Man” feel a step, or two, behind, writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review.
