Edgar Wright's signature rhythmic direction and Glen Powell's explosive action synergy, combined with a resonant message that leaves an aftertaste, have earned praise for the film The Running Man (director Edgar Wright, distributed/imported by Lotte Entertainment), which has attracted attention by releasing a review poster.
The Running Man is a chase action blockbuster that unfolds when unemployed family man Ben Richards (Glen Powell) joins a global survival program where he must survive brutal pursuers for 30 days to win a large cash prize. Promising expectations with Edgar Wright's witty direction and Glen Powell's all-in action, The Running Man released an intense review poster filled with enthusiastic praise. In the poster, Glen Powell shows a resolute look just before being sent into The Running Man show, projecting a weighty presence. Ben Richards's expression as he enters a zero-win-rate survival program provokes curiosity about unpredictable developments. Based on this tension-filled visual, the review poster—centered on director Bong Joon-ho's recommendation—contains praise for the underdog's thrilling rebellion narrative, dopamine-stimulating direction, and a message that leaves a heavy aftertaste, raising expectations for The Running Man, which opens the day after the poster's release. Bursting with vivid action and an immersive storyline that will showcase a distinctive charm, The Running Man is expected to heat up theaters during the cold winter.
The Running Man, promising dopamine-full action with Edgar Wright's signature rhythmic direction and Glen Powell's all-in performance, is scheduled to open on Dec. 10.
