It probably won't be any good, but might be enough explosions for me to watch.

It looks like a Paul W.S. Anderson film directed by Michael Bay... or that guy who directed Chronicles of Riddick.

In fact the general oomph of the plot is almost exactly Death Race (death row inmate / Most Dangerous Game player is so good that the people who set it up try and rig it against him) which is itself was derivative of the greatest Most Dangerous Game movie ever made, The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Yaphet "Fucking" Kotto.

In fact this is basically a remake of The Running Man.

In fact the people who run this website apparently don't know what the term "high concept" means.

Sure they do. Someone had a concept while they were on an airplane. High concept.

Yeah, I thought about it for a minute, but I have decided that it is probably not going to be worth my time.

If you enjoyed the book, the movie will disappoint. The two share very little beyond the fact that a guy is running for his life on a game show in a dystopian future.

No, no no no. It's not that the movie will disappoint you, it's that the movie is awesome and you get to see a opera singing fat man shoot lightning from his fingers.

The story is also quite good, but really, the movie is fantastic.

When I was a kid that movie used to be on T.V. at least three times a year. I don't think I've seen it around for a decade-and-a-half, now. I wonder what's going on with it.

Saw it a while ago.  Not particularly interested, though given the premise, I expected I would be.

Running Man has more one-liners and neon per frame than any other movie ever.

it is glorious.

Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.
