...nothing shall I regret more than not being able to continue my service to the Crimson ed page, and to its readers. I think I shall never be quite so touched as when the editorial chairman tearfully took me in his arms and said, "You can't die, Rutger! How will we fill those 20 inches of space on Saturday's page...
Like previous Schwarzenegger movies, The Running Man is fundamentally an action film, Schwarzenegger and company against a host of well-equipped and deadly enemies. Everyone knows the hero can't die, but director Paul Michael Glaser does a terrific job of making you wonder how Richards will keep escaping.
