'The Running Man' Trips Across the Starting Line

Everything is wrong with Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, and I say that as someone who’s long been rooting for him. I’m a big fan of his early films Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). I liked his 2021 rock-documentary The Sparks Brothers, and I even appreciated parts of Baby Driver (2017) and Last Night in Soho (2021).
