The Running Man 1963 Movie

I enjoyed this but I expected slightly more excitement. The twists work well though and the suspicion whipsaws around just enough to keep you engaged. The pacing feels deliberate (almost too measured) but that slow-burn tone does pay off to enough of a degree. The acting is strong across the board and the way the film plays with paranoia and identity is clever, even if some of the mid–movie sequences could have used a bit more urgency. Overall, a solid 60s thriller that’s worth a look, but not quite the pulse–pounder I was hoping for.
