In the mood for a story about a man who enters a reality TV show, only to be hunted by assassins for 30 days in an attempt to win a fortune? If so, you might be considering checking out Edgar Wright's "The Running Man," but you might also want to turn your attention to "Self Reliance," an overlooked 2024 comedy thriller available to stream on Hulu right now.
The movie was written, directed by, and stars Jake Johnson in his feature length directorial debut. Johnson plays Tommy, a middle-aged Los Angeles office worker who one day is approached by Andy Samberg (playing himself). The actor invites Tommy into a limo and offers him the chance to go on an "adventure." That adventure involves Tommy competing in a dark web reality TV show where he'll be pursued by a group of assassins for 30 days.
