NEW ADAPTATION OF DYSTOPIAN STEPHEN KING NOVEL IS A VERY DIFFERENT BEAST TO SCHWARZENEGGER'S EIGHTIES ACTION CLASSIC

- REVIEWS BY DAMON SMITH

TAKE your pick of the athletic turns of phrase that suggest a disappointing outcome: run out of steam, run aground, run on empty, run dry, run out of luck.

Any of them could apply to director Edgar Wright's high-octane adaptation of Stephen King's 1985 dystopian thriller, which coincidentally imagined the bleak authoritarian future of... 2025 replete with a government controlled television network that broadcasts a bloodthirsty survival game show with one inevitable outcome.

Working-class father Ben Richards (Glen Powell) has been blacklisted for exposing corporate negligence. He struggles to find work to pay for medicine to save his gravely ill baby daughter.
