      Run, run away from the 80s.

      A good Arnie actioner with some unconvincing bad guys and a very bad song at the end. Definately rent this if you havent seen it.

      Arnie

      A good Arnie film. Totally unbelievable story with some bad acting etc but as per usual for any Arnie film his one liners and fighting make it.

      Dated but entertaining

      Like a lot of Sci-Fi from the early eighties, this has dated badly, but is still an entertaining watch and much better than the recent similarly themed Gamer.

      Running out

      Whilst not one of Arnold's best ever movies, Running Man is still entertaining if only for the ridiculous outfits the stars are made to wear.
